Free energy kits at library

Local libraries are offering home energy and water efficiency kits – and portable Induction cooktops – free for community members to borrow.

These kits have been curated to provide tools for residents to enhance energy efficiency, reduce their carbon footprint, and make sustainable choices within their homes.

Myli libraries, with Bass Coast and neighbouring shires, have launched the kits that have access to energy meters to monitor electricity consumption, thermal imaging cameras to identify areas of heat loss, and water-monitoring devices to reduce water usage. Additionally, the kits include information on energy-saving practices.

The portable induction cooktops aim to promote sustainable cooking habits and allow residents to try before you buy. 

These kits feature portable induction stoves, which are energy-efficient alternatives to traditional stovetops. 

Induction cooking technology uses magnetic fields to heat cookware directly, resulting in faster and more efficient cooking while using significantly less energy.

These kits are available to borrow at local Myli libraries, free of charge. 

The loan period will ensure community members have time to experiment with the tools, gather insights, and implement energy-efficient practices.
