- Up to 100% off weatherization measures such as insulation and air sealing, which can lower your heating and cooling costs by up to 15%, reduce allergens, increase health benefits and more
- Up to $25,000 on energy-efficient heating, cooling and water heating equipment
- Expert home improvement advice
- Energy-saving tips
Prepare your home for electrification
Weatherization reduces drafts and helps your home keep warmed or cooled air in. This means electrified HVAC systems don't to work as hard to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. Plus, weatherizing your home can help you install correctly sized systems down the road.
You can use our interactive all-electric home to learn more about electrification and lowering your carbon footprint.
Picking the Best Program For You
Income-based Assistance
We offer solutions for everyone. Depending on your household income and address you may qualify for additional income-based offerings on top of the base Home Energy Assessment.
These can include additional no-cost insulation and air sealing upgrades, new home appliances and upfront incentives to help over the cost of projects that must be completed before an approved insulation upgrade, such as removal of knob and tube wiring or vermiculite.
You'll use your household income and zip code to determine if you qualify for income-based programs. For example, if your family of four has an annual household income of $116,392 you would qualify. Visit Mass Save®, sponsored by Eversource, to determine your eligibility. If you don't qualify for income-based programs, you can still sign up for a Home Energy Assessment.
