Online: Heat Pumps for your Home, by Southeast London Community Energy, February 10, 6:30 - 8 pm BST
Event Description
Thinking of installing a heat pump? Wanting to find out how they work and how much they cost? All you need to know about heat pumps is here!
Feeling the cold recently? Well hopefully you've got your central heating turned up high, or perhaps you live in a super energy efficient home and don't need it on full...
In any case, you may be interested in making use of the government's Green Homes Grant scheme to install a heat pump.
With expert guest speakers, we'll be covering what a heat pump is, and how it could benefit your home. We'll also have time for live questions and answers, where you can put your detailed or simple queries to our panel.
All donations from this event will go towards Selce's fuel poverty alleviation work, across South East London which has been extended throughout the whole of 2020 and this winter, due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
We'd like to say a special thanks to our guest speakers for making it all happen, and generously donating their time and expertise.
Where Your Donation Goes:
At South East London Community Energy, we're committed to supporting a green transition where no-one is left behind. That's why we run our fuel poverty alleviation program to support individuals that are having to choose between heating and eating.
To accelerate the transition to a sustainable future in SE London, we formed Selce as a co-operative for the benefit of the community.
Our founding objectives are:
We believe we're part of a quiet revolution - where the energy transition and social justice go hand in hand. All donations raised from this event will go into continuing our work in the community, to make London greener and cleaner, and alleviate fuel poverty.
