Home Energy Services Contractors

Build your business with expanded residential customer energy efficiency offerings.
Become a participating Home Energy Services Contractor and provide your customers with home energy assessments and/or weatherization improvements.

Contractors can become a Home Performances Contractor (HPC) or Independent Installation Contractor (IIC), which both support single family (1-4 units) residential buildings and offer customers a whole-house approach to energy efficiency.

 

There are two types of Home Energy Services Contractors: Home Performance Contractors and Independent Installation Contractors.

  1. Home Performance Contractor (HPC)

    An HPC offers residential customers turnkey services, from performing the Home Energy Assessment to the installation of program-approved weatherization improvements. HPCs work directly with customers and recruit them for the program.

  2. Independent Installation Contractor (IIC)

    An IIC provides insulation and air sealing improvements that are identified through an energy assessment from a Lead Vendor.

    HPCs and IICs are managed by Lead Vendors and the Sponsors of Mass Save. The Lead Vendor conducts home energy assessments for customers, manages contractor agreements, and implements all other aspects of the program.

    The Sponsors of Mass Save are Berkshire Gas, Cape Light Compact, Eversource, Liberty Utilities, National Grid, and Unitil. The Sponsors are responsible for overall management of the program.
