Local charity Marches Energy Agency is running Green Open Homes this year across weekends in November.

Homeowners across Shropshire, Herefordshire and Telford & Wrekin will be opening their doors to visitors, for free, to show and explain how they’ve made their homes more energy efficient. It’s a unique opportunity for visitors to experience first-hand things like heat pumps, triple glazing, underfloor heating and solar panels, to ask ‘daft’ questions without being made to feel daft, and without any sales pressure.

• What does underfloor heating actually feel like?

• How loud is a heap pump really?

• How much do you save if you have solar panels and a battery?

These questions and many more answered! The properties can be found using the postcode search at https://www.greenopenhomes.net/

So start planning your visits! It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn, and to visit some corners of the Marches region you possibly don’t know. 

In addition to this fantastic event, Marches Energy Agency also offers:

• surveys and advice for homeowners to support your own home retrofit;

• a pathway to reach EPC band C if you’re a landlord; and

• free training and workshops if you’re a builder wanting to expand your retrofit knowledge and grow your business.
