from Sustainable North Grenville
Sustainable North Grenville will be offering a free informational evening on the topic of heat pumps. Come join us at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Suite A on March 19 for a 7pm start.
Following our successful 2023 Greening Your Home component in our annual Sustainability Fair, SNG is responding to the ongoing community interest that we’re hearing on the topic of heat pumps for homeowners. What was common in discussions amongst our rural residents as a cost-effective way to heat and cool homes is gaining interest in all parts of North Grenville for reasons of durability, reduced emissions, improved comfort, and exceptional lifetime cost.
The event will start promptly at 7pm, and will begin with an overview presentation on heat pumps to cover the technology. The focus will be to provide information on these systems to equip our neighbours with the information they will need when talking with potential contractors and understanding their unique needs. Learn how a heat loss analysis is needed and why the days of sizing a furnace on the square footage of your home are long gone. Learn also what you can do to minimize the investment costs and maximize your home comfort.
We are also excited to be welcoming some local heat pump installers to join us at the event. Following the presentation, audience members will have an opportunity to talk with our local installers and experts right there, onsite. So mark your calendars and come join us on March 19!
Speaking of marking our calendars, SNG is also excited to announce that planning is well underway for our 15th Annual Sustainability Fair and Electric Vehicle Show! This year, we will be holding the event on Sunday May 5, from 10am to 3pm. Once again, we’ll be filling the North Grenville Municipal Centre with our local businesses, as well as filling the arena with electric vehicles and their owners. Test drives right on site will return, and stay tuned for the makes and models that will be available to drive that day. Given the success of our Greening Your Home section, we are excited to bring this back with local businesses who can help homeowners with their projects towards a greener lifestyle.
Since planning is still at the early stages, we will be following this article with future submissions to detail what will be available in each section of the show and also the onsite presentations and workshops that we’re excited to bring.
Our annual fair is a family event and it has grown in popularity and attendance over the years. Bring the young ones to experience crafts and fun in our kids’ area. Bring the bigger kids to explore the home technology and electric vehicles too!
We’re looking forward to welcoming you on March 19 for the heat pump presentation and also at our fair on May 5!
