Home Energy Assessments (Virtual or In-Person)
The Sponsors of Mass Save offer no-cost virtual or in-person Home Energy Assessments.
During an assessment, an Energy Specialist will seek out energy-saving opportunities, recommend upgrades, and help you navigate available rebates, incentives, and 0% financing. After an assessment, you will receive a custom energy report highlighting the rebates and incentives you qualify for.
One of the first steps toward better efficiency is weatherization, which includes upgrading your insulation and air sealing. Benefits of insulation and air sealing improvements include:
- Lowering heating and cooling costs by up to 20%
- Decreasing drafts to improve comfort and humidity all year long
- Minimizing outside noise for a quieter, more peaceful environment
- Preventing allergens and pests from entering your home
- Reducing the chance of ice dams—protecting your home from potential damage
The Sponsors of Mass Save also offer no-cost insulation and air sealing upgrades and more to income-qualified households.
Home Energy Assessments are also available for renters, landlords (1-4 units), and landlords (5+ units).
In addition to our In-Person Home Energy Assessments we offer a no-cost Online Energy Assessment, where you tell us about your home so we can provide personalized recommendations for saving energy.
An Energy Specialist will identify energy-saving opportunities throughout your home and make recommendations. You will receive a custom energy report, which will provide the rebates and incentives you qualify for that may include:
- 75-100% off approved insulation improvements
- No-cost targeted air sealing
- Rebates of up to $25,000 on qualifying energy-efficient heating, cooling and/or water-heating equipment (eligibility based on findings from your Home Energy Assessment)
- The opportunity to apply for 0% financing through the Mass Save HEAT Loan Program for eligible upgrades
Schedule a no-cost Home Energy Assessment with trusted lead vendor, {{HLA}}. Call 866-527-SAVE or schedule online.
You can also choose a participating Home Performance Contractor to complete your no-cost Home Energy Assessment. The same contractor can also complete any recommended insulation and air sealing work during a follow-up visit.
If you already know what upgrades you’re looking to make and you are looking to access quick incentives, you may access direct incentives for insulation and/or air sealing upgrades. You can skip the assessment and work with a Direct Weatherization Independent Installation Contractor to scope out your project and access incentives.
For heat pump installations, you can contact a Heat Pump Installer Network Contractor to receive a quote.
