The Dunbarton Energy Committee (DEC) has a program to provide a Home Energy Survey called Neighbors Warming Neighbors. We has expanded Neighbors Warming Neighbors to include all income levels to develop more interest and help Dunbarton residents begin developing their own energy efficiency improvement program. It is a great way to check to see if your attempts to button -up your home or increase its energy efficiency have been successful.

We are just beginning the 2019-20 season, now that it is cold enough for clear IR scans with our imaging camera.

Neighbors Warming Neighbors  documents include the NWN program announcement, our  Walkthrough_Audit_Checklist,
some good Button-up  energy video Listings, and a NWN Sample Image Report that shows what the homeowner receives after the home visit.

If you are interested in having a NWN home survey,

Energy Expo 2019

NH Energy Expo Will Be Held APRIL 6th, 2019

 Press Release – Dunbarton, New Hampshire‐

The Dunbarton Energy Committee and Community Dunbarton are sponsoring the 5th Annual NH Energy Expo. According to John Stevens, Chairman of the Dunbarton Energy Committee, “We have purposely timed this event after we have survived the colder weather and before we forget it. We’re reaching out to our neighbors in surrounding communities with the hope of attracting lots of interest.”

The NH Energy Expo is scheduled for the first Saturday of April , 2019 at the Dunbarton Elementary School Community Center from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. There is no charge to attend and everyone is welcome. The Energy Expo will feature a gymnasium full of vendors coupled with topical workshop sessions held throughout the event and educational games for children.

Bob Ray of the Dunbarton Energy Committee emphasized, “The Energy Expo will have something for everyone. If you are considering a project and would like to learn more about various energy technologies (including Solar panels, pellet fired boilers, domestic hot water alternatives, Geo-Thermal and air source heat pump systems, and financing opportunities) this is the place to come. If you’re responsible for paying the bills, we’ll have information on how to fund projects and generate savings through energy conservation. If you’re a do‐it‐yourself home owner, we’ll have practical hands on information for you.”

A special feature this year will be an opportunity to meet with 3 Electric car owners to discover why they switched to electric. One owner is using his solar panels to recharge the batteries.

A Major door prize this year will be a Ton of Wood Pellets donated by one of our Exhibitors.
