Three Paths to Energy Savings
Not sure where to start?
Call 866-527-SAVE (7283) to schedule your no-cost Home Energy Assessment with an Energy Specialist from a Lead Vendor: CET, CLEAResult or RISE. Insulation and air sealing work is then completed by participating Independent Installation Contractor (IIC).
One-stop shop
Choose a participating Home Performance Contractor to complete your no-cost Home Energy Assessment. The same contractor will also complete the insulation and air sealing work.
Direct weatherization
If you know your property needs insulation and/or air sealing, and are looking to quickly access incentives, consider the direct weatherization path. Skip the Home Energy Assessment and work with a participating Direct Weatherization Independent Installation Contractor to scope out your project and access incentives.
*Berkshire Gas and Liberty customers are served by Lead Vendor and Installation Contractor(IIC), only.
**Home Performance Contractors (HPC) may also be able to offer other energy efficiency services such as HVAC equipment installation, solar, and windows (negotiated directly between the customer and the HPC).
To schedule your no-cost Home Energy Assessment, start by calling 866-527-7283. Or if you prefer to work with one of our approved Home Performance Contractors,

We had some problems with our furnace, so we called our plumber to look at it. He took one look at it and said, ‘Call Mass Save!’
Robert from Westborough, MA
I was extremely pleased with my energy assessment. The Energy Specialist was very knowledgeable and professional, and had a host of energy-saving suggestions, even though this is a relatively new house.
J. Pendleton from Bedford, MA
It really makes a lot of sense to spend a couple hours with an expert to talk about your heating system, your lighting, your water usage…whatever it may be. [Just] think about it, and take a few actions.
Martha from Melrose, MA
[Mass Save] did a very good job. They were respectful, cautious. They were good - they were very good.
Anita from Rochester, MA
Wish we had taken advantage of this long ago.
Ruth from Turners Falls, MA
I was impressed from the time I was contacted, to the completion of the project.
