HeatSmart FLX South Presents its first Open-House series this June through September.
Enjoy free, family friendly, in-person, and virtual opportunities to check out heat pumps for clean heating and cooling. Visit your neighbor’s home or local small business and find out why they decided to “Heat Smart, Cool Smart,” ask questions, and see the technology.
Open-Houses in-person will run for 3 hours with mini-tours provided as folks accumulate; you may come and go throughout this time as you please. Complimentary KN95 masks will be provided; please respect each homeowner’s/business’ wishes. Complementary light snacks will be provided.
The Virtual Tour on July 31, 2022, will take place online via Zoom. Have accessibility needs? Let your HeatSmart Campaign Director know so we can try to accommodate. A call-in option is available. Slides and the recording will be made available and hosted on the HeatSmart FLX South website (https://www.heatsmartflxsouth.org/events).
Participants at each tour will be entered into a raffle for a $10 gift card to a local hardware store. People who attend 3 plus events will be entered for a $50 gift card.
If needed due to COVID, in-person tours may switch to online.
Pre-registration is required, so HeatSmart FLX South can let hosts know you will be attending.

About the program: HeatSmart FLX South is helping families, small businesses and non-profits choose clean heating and cooling solutions and to reduce their energy costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increase health and safety. Through free consultations with residents and business the program connects folks to free energy audits (for homes)/low-cost energy studies (for businesses), weatherization, and energy efficiency upgrades tailored to each person. The goal is for more residents and businesses to adopt heat pump equipment for clean heating and cooling to lower energy use for consumers and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
HeatSmart FLX South serves Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, and Yates counties, in cooperation with the Cooperative Extension Associations of those counties and is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority Clean Heating & Cooling Communities program.
