Save money and energy - with help from Thornbury library

Energy meters – now available from your local library

if you want to save money on your household costs then go along to your local library and borrow an energy meter.

The service being offered by South Gloucestershire libraries are part of a new council initiative to improve the energy efficiency of local people's homes and save money.

The meters measure electricity consumption, so householders

can easily see the difference made by turning off appliances instead of

leaving them on stand-by, and the amounts of energy different equipment

can use.

The meters will be available to borrow for three weeks and are

proving very popular so you may well need to reserve one (no charge).
