Energy
Making choices that save energy -- in your home, business or community -- can have a positive impact on the environment while also saving you money. In this section of our website, CCE-Chemung offers an array of resources that can help you learn about ways you can reduce energy consumption and use energy resources more efficiently.
Woodstove Maintenance
Proper maintenance is crucial to ensure that your wood heating appliances will function safely and efficiently. Learn how to keep your stove in top shape here.
Solar Chemung
This FREE event is a great opportunity to chat with solar providers from Halco, Renovus, and Twin Tier Solar & Wind. Hear from others who opted to 'go solar', and get your questions answered.
Sealing Air Leaks
Although small cracks around windows and doors contribute to air leakage, the biggest holes are often located in the attic, crawlspace, or basement.
Storing Firewood
Unlike most fuels, firewood can be stored indefinitely, safely and without degrading. Learn correct storage techniques here.

Don't Move Firewood!
Firewood Transport Rules were revised August 2012 to improve regulatory compliance and enforcement. The existence of this regulation helps prevent firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle from being transported throughout the state, spreading the destruction of trees.
