SHELBURNE — If you’ve wondered how to decide on solar options, or a heat pump, or how to reduce your home’s oil/propane use, you can find information at a free Energy Fair organized by the Shelburne Energy Committee.

The fair will be held on Saturday, April 27, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Buckland-Shelburne Elementary School.

“As ordinary citizens, we hear so much about climate change,” said Energy Committee member Cynthia Boettner. “It can make us feel overwhelmed, wishing there were something we could do to make a difference. The Energy Fair can empower us by giving concrete ideas and steps we can take in our own homes to help mitigate the impact — and the beauty of it is that many of these ideas will end up saving us money in the process.”

Fair attendees can talk with representatives from companies and organizations serving the area on the topics of solar energy, heat pumps, home energy assessments, home weatherization, energy-saving strategies and more.

Several exhibits will be set up in the school gymnasium, including those about the Mass Save heat loan program, the Shelburne Streetlight Committee’s plans, the Inflation Reduction Act, Community Action’s low-income weatherization program, solar electric back-up batteries and vehicle chargers, advanced energy power strips, how to own solar and save money, and heat pump maintenance.

Topics to be covered during a series of presentations include: understanding options for solar and how to avoid scams; taking advantage of no- and low-cost weatherization and other energy-efficient home upgrades offered by the Mass Save program; understanding heat pumps and available rebates; learning about rebates and credits for energy upgrades available through the federal Inflation Reduction Act; and finding out what the Energy Committee is doing to help Shelburne decrease its carbon footprint.

Kid-friendly activities will be available while parents are participating in the fair.
