The final major event of the month takes place on the 25th September at 7pm at the Boniface Centre, Crediton. Do you want to cut your heating bills this winter? Then do come to " Cut Heating Bills this Winter" where we have two expert speakers giving practical tips to make our homes more energy efficient and warm in the winter. Entry will be free of charge with refreshments by donation. Brian Harper, the first speaker, runs Energy Tracers, a company that does thermal imaging surveys inside people's homes to identify draughts and areas of heat loss through poor insulation. Brian will cover how to assess homes for heat loss and how to prevent that heat loss with practical DIY tips. Next up will be Mukti Mitchell who sailed around Britain in a 6 month voyage in the revolutionary zero-emission Explorer Microyacht, to promote the benefits of low carbon living. Mukti will be talking about his trip around Britain and how this led to meeting his current business partner and starting CosyHome Company.  He will then move on to how to treat heat loss, esp. Loft Insulation, Draught Proofing and Secondary Glazing, but also a little on wall and floor insulation.
