    Search our Home Energy Referral Network for local businesses that provide energy smart products and/or services. Download the Home Energy Referral Network (PDF format) below.

    Providing information on energy efficiency is one thing, but it can be hard to identify the right products or services for the job and track down where they are available locally. Our Home Energy Referral Network aims to fill this gap by referring you to around fifty local businesses. The network includes lighting shops, insulation contractors, blind and awning manufacturers, solar hot water installers and even local hardware stores.

    The Home Energy Referral Network is being constantly updated - If you know of a business that should be included the Referral Network, contact us and let us know.
