Levin whānau will better understand how to reduce their electricity costs and live in warmer, healthier homes following a free EnergyMate power workshop on Thursday, April 1.
The workshop will be delivered by electricity retailers, lines companies, and Levin Budget Service on Thursday, April 1 from 10am at Te Whare Mahana Community Hub, Bristol St, Levin.
"Some whānau can struggle to pay their power bills or keep their home warm because of poorly insulated housing, high living costs, and inefficient heating appliances. We want all whānau to live in warm, dry homes with affordable energy costs," said Miranda Struthers, the Electricity Retailers' Association's accessible energy advocate.
"ERANZ is running workshops around the country as part of EnergyMate, a programme which also delivers free in-home energy coaching to support whānau at risk of energy hardship.
"At the hui whānau are helped with simple and cheap power saving tips, information to help them better understand their power bill and what drives their power use, as well as free LED light bulbs for instant power savings. Free energy-efficient appliances are also given away to help whānau keep warm and healthy," Struthers said.
