Discover the Benefits of a Home Health and Safety Check During Your Mass Save® Energy Assessment
When we talk about Home Energy Assessments, we’re usually highlighting Mass Save’s generous rebates, incentives, and no-cost energy-saving items. Most people expect insulation recommendations, no-cost air sealing, and even programmable thermostats. But one of the most valuable parts of your no-cost assessment could be the full-home Health and Safety Check included as part of your assessment.
This essential component is about more than just saving energy—it’s about protecting your family’s well-being and ensuring that your home is a safe, healthy place to live. Here’s a closer look at what a health and safety check includes and why it matters.
1. Identifying Unsafe Wiring
Outdated or faulty electrical wiring is one of the most common fire hazards in older homes. During your assessment, our energy specialists check for visible signs of unsafe wiring, overloaded circuits, and other electrical risks that could lead to sparks or short circuits. Catching these early can prevent major issues down the road.
2. Detecting Mold and Moisture Build-Up
Excess moisture and poor ventilation are often silent contributors to mold growth. Mold doesn’t just damage walls and ceilings—it can also pose serious respiratory risks, especially to children, seniors, and those with allergies or asthma. Our expert Home Energy Specialists check for signs of water damage, moisture build-up, and areas of inadequate ventilation.
3. Spotting Asbestos
Many homes built before the 1980s still contain asbestos in materials like insulation, ceiling tiles, and pipe coverings. While not immediately dangerous when undisturbed, any remodeling or deterioration can release harmful fibers into the air. We help identify materials that may require further inspection by a licensed asbestos professional.
4. Checking for Roof Leaks
A leaking roof can cause everything from mold growth to structural weakening. As part of the assessment, our team looks for signs of water intrusion in the attic or ceiling—an early warning system to prevent costly repairs.
5. Ensuring Combustion Safety
Gas appliances like furnaces, water heaters, and stoves must be vented properly to avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Our health and safety check includes combustion testing and ensures all ventilation is functioning as it should to keep your family safe.
6. Uncovering Pest Infestations
Mice, insects, and other pests don’t just make a mess—they can chew wires, damage insulation, and spread disease. During your assessment, we look for signs of infestation and entry points so you can take action early.
7. Flagging Structural Concerns
Sometimes, energy inefficiencies point to deeper structural problems. Our specialists are trained to recognize issues like sagging joists, compromised beams, and foundation cracks that could affect your home’s long-term safety and value.
