Window Dressers Update

The third Norwich/Hanover Window Dressers Build is now complete!  This year the Norwich Congregational Church was host. 268 window inserts were made by 115 volunteers for forty-one households between September 29 and October 5. According to Window Dressers, one medium pine insert may save an average of 8.5 gallons of heating oil every year, for an estimated savings of $15 – $43 per year, depending on variations in fuel price. 

One week’s work then will result in a minimum reduction in the use of 2300 gallons of heating oil at a savings of $34,000 this coming winter in our community – savings that continue year after year.  Inserts generally pay for themselves in two heating seasons or less.  This was one of 47 Window Dressers builds in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire for 2023.  For more information about Window Dressers go to https://windowdressers.org/ It is a fascinating story about the impact this organization has had in Vermont, Maine and now New Hampshire.
