LCNC Workshops

CWLP's free Low-Cost/No-Cost Efficiency Workshops are designed to help residential customers learn how to make do-it-yourself improvements to their homes that will result in increased comfort and lower energy costs.

Public Sessions

These open workshops are normally offered several times each year. The workshops are open to all CWLP residential electric customers, and our particular focus is on reaching those living on low or fixed incomes who can't afford to hire outside help to make efficiency improvements to their homes. Customers interested in attending a public workshop must pre-register. Space is limited so early pre-registration is advised.

A schedule of workshops planned for the current calendar year is available elsewhere on this website.

On-Demand Sessions

We also offer the Low-Cost/No-Cost Workshops upon request to neighborhood associations, church groups, civic clubs and other organizations that anticipate an audience of between 15 and 50. Whenever possible, we attempt to schedule these on-demand workshops to meet the needs of the requesting organization. See below to schedule an on-demand workshop.

Workshop participants learn tips and tricks to maximize home comfort while minimizing their energy costs. Emphasis is placed on efficiency improvements that the participants can make themselves for little or no cost. Participants have a chance to gain hands-on experience applying caulk, weatherstripping and flexible plastic storm windows. They can also talk one-on-one with the CWLP Energy Experts about specific home efficiency problems they are encountering.

At the end of the workshop, each participant receives a free home efficiency "starter kit" containing a caulk gun, tube of caulk, flexible plastic storm window kit, outlet and switchplate gaskets, and caulking cord.
