FARMINGTON — Results of an energy study of the Farmington Historical Society’s Titcomb House will be provided at a society meeting Monday, Nov. 14, at Henderson Memorial Baptist Church.

 A potluck dinner starts at 6 p.m. followed by a presentation on the energy study and a business meeting. Josh Wojcik, owner of Upright Frameworks in Wilton, has studied the Titcomb House and will present his findings at the meeting.

Rising energy costs have become a high priority for the non-profit society. It has been studying energy consumption and costs of the Titcomb House, the society’s museum on Academy Street.

The c. 1846 Titcomb House is heated to protect many items in the collection that otherwise would be damaged by freezing.

“Fuel is very costly and we burn more than average for a house kept at 48 degrees,” Taffy Davis, society president, said. “We replaced the roof a couple of years ago, added some insulation, but it’s not enough. We are looking for ways to reduce our costs.”

Upright Frameworks has initiated Operation Raise ME Up, a program that commits to weatherization retrofits. Upright Frameworks is rewarding owners by providing the service at cost, with the goal of the owner investing the difference in the local economy.

The society recently participated in the Energy Challenge, a United Way program directed by Nancy Teel to build energy panels for its windows. Energy Challenge volunteers and historical society volunteers built and installed these panels with the hopes of saving an estimated 200 gallons of heating oil this year.

The Nov. 14 meeting is held in the basement of the church, also on Academy Street. All are welcome. For more information, contact Taffy Davis at 778-4275.
