It’s an opportunity for home owners to learn how to save energy — and a few bucks to boot.
Union Gas along with Home Depot locations across the country — including those in Owen Sound and Collingwood — are giving away free Energy Saving Kits this weekend.
Officials says natural gas continues to be the best energy choice for consumers and costs significantly less than electricity for space or water heating.
Almost 20 per cent of a homes’ energy bill goes to heating water for showers and washing dishes and clothes.
Each energy saving kit contains about 35 dollars of easy-to-install items that reduce energy use delivering up to 100 dollars in savings each year.
Union Gas has distributed close to 180 thousand free energy kits in the past two years.
They can be picked up Saturday at local Home Depot locations between 8 AM and 3 PM while supplies last.
