Reduce Energy And Save Money
Lower Your Year-Round Energy Costs
This effort is part of a new initiative by the Town of Chelmsford, which encourages home energy efficiency and seeks to expand access to Mass Save incentives, like weatherization and heat pump technology. By partnering with HomeWorks Energy, a longtime Mass Save partner, Chelmsford is helping its homeowners, renters, landlords, and business owners improve energy efficiency, save money, and elevate the comfort of their homes and buildings, starting with a no-cost assessment.
During your assessment, a Home Energy Specialist will review your home’s energy performance and show you how to save money and energy year-round. The benefits of an assessment may include:
- No-cost custom home energy report
- 100% off sealing air leaks in your home
- 75-100% off recommended insulation
- Up to $16,000 in heat pump rebates
- 0% financing up to $25,000 through the HEAT Loan to finance any remaining costs of upgrades
- No-cost, energy-saving items such as programmable thermostats and water-saving devices installed on the spot
Join us to start saving now and make our community more sustainable for generations to come!
Energy Reduction Goals & Progress
Over the next year, the towns of Billerica and Chelmsford aim to facilitate a combined 782 Home Energy Assessments, 216 weatherization upgrades, and 148 HVAC system upgrades.
What to Expect from a Home Energy Assessment
We’ll work with your utility provider to get approval for the Home Energy Assessment. If we need more information from you for the approval, we’ll call you within 24 hours.
Your Home Energy Specialist will be at your home at your scheduled time and will begin your Assessment. The assessment typically takes between 2-3 hours.
You will learn how your home consumes and loses energy and you’ll receive a custom home energy report, along with other recommendations to save like insulation or air sealing upgrades.
You get access to all eligible benefits like 75-100% off insulation, 100% off air sealing, 0% financing, up to $10,000 in heat pump rebates, and no-cost items.
Do You Qualify?
You must live in Massachusetts and be a customer of National Grid or Eversource.
You can only have an assessment once every two years.
You must live in a single-family home or building with 4 units or less.
If you are on fuel assistance or a discount utility rate, call (978) 350-0293.
Interested in a Heat Pump?
Your assessment may show that your HVAC system is near the end of its useful life and your specialist could recommend replacement with a heat pump. The Chelmsford Clean Energy and Sustainability Committee recommends serious consideration of this option, which is heavily incentivized by the Mass Save Sponsors.
If interested in heat pumps, a free heat pump consultation is available to you through our Committee and Massachusetts nonprofit, HeatSmart Alliance. Get free and impartial advice from a HeatSmart heat pump coach here: https://heatsmartalliance.org/coaching/
