FREE home energy assessments in Ballarat

Sue Harling is the local Central Victoria Solar City Home Energy Assessor. Central Victoria Solar City is offering 90 minute home energy assessments, at no cost to Ballarat residents, as part of their research trial into how we think about and use energy.

Every day we use power in our homes. Things that we take for granted like cooking and eating, turning on the lights, and driving the car, all produce greenhouse gases which are contributing to climate change.

To reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and have a positive impact on climate change, it can be useful to get a better understanding of how much greenhouse gas our own household is generating.
