Swanmore Energy-Saving Open Homes
Drop by for a chat on the pros and cons of energy efficient ways to keep your home cosy in winter and cool in summer.
Join us at Swanmore Energy-Saving Open Homes!
Come with your questions for a team on a renewables journey in Swanmore. Find out the real costs / benefits from two village homeowners who are making changes.
