Building Insulation & Weatherization Incentives

Incentives for buildings under 8,000 square feet.
Insulation and air sealing work hand in hand to make your building more energy efficient and comfortable.

By adding more insulation to your building or sealing drafty air leaks, you can greatly reduce heat loss and save energy in your building.

For buildings under 8,000 square feet, the Sponsors of Mass Save offer incentives to upgrade insulation in attics, basements, and walls, and seal air leakage in attics.

Participate in a No-Cost Energy Assessment
Contact your Mass Save Sponsor to schedule a no-cost energy assessment before installation. A qualified vendor will contact you to determine existing conditions at your facility and identify potential energy-saving measures during an in-person  or virtual assessment. Recommended improvements will be installed by a vendor qualified by the Sponsors of Mass Save.

Apply for Weatherization Rebates

Work with a licensed weatherization contractor to discuss your weatherization project and determine rebate eligibility. Upon completion of installation, apply for a rebate by submitting all required documentation by email to your Mass Save Sponsor.

For customers of Berkshire Gas, Liberty Utilities, or Unitil, notification and approval of the project is required prior to installation.
