SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — Southern Maine Community College is offering free weatherization classes to help homeowners cut their energy bills.
The two-hour classes will teach participants how heat escapes from homes and what cost-effective steps can be taken to increase energy efficiency.

The classes are being offered 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 24 and 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28.
