Watertown Residents

Our city is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050

We can all do our part to meet our climate and energy goals.

Reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 requires action from our residents and businesses.

Watertown’s buildings account for over 50% of our greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from the energy required to heat and cool them. Making a home more energy-efficient can go a long way in saving money and energy while reducing emissions.

The City has partnered with HomeWorks Energy, a Mass Save® partner, to provide no-cost Home Energy Assessments and weatherization (insulation and air sealing) services in Watertown. Through a Home Energy Assessment, a HomeWorks Energy Specialist will identify energy-saving opportunities and connect you with relevant Mass Save rebates and other financial incentives.

Benefits of a No-Cost Energy Assessment

Join us to make our community more sustainable and enjoy the benefits of a greener home!

If you have questions or concerns, email Watertown’s Energy Advocate, Fangxue Zheng, at fzheng@watertown-ma.gov.
