Just like a machine, your home is made up of many moving parts. If one part fails, it affects how the machine works as a whole. Your no-cost energy assessment evaluates the existing components using advanced tools and technology. These include the building structure, insulation, air infiltration, HVAC, appliances and home ventilation. An assessment helps to determine where there is energy loss and, consequently, the cause of high utility bills. One of the main culprits is often a compromised barrier between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. A conditioned space is one that’s heated and cooled with the rest of the house. An unconditioned space is one that is not heated or cooled (for example, the garage or attic).

No-cost energy assessments aren’t just for home owners. Rental units are also eligible. If you’re a landlord or a renter, you can take advantage of the Mass Save program benefits, including 100% coverage of weather ventilation and air-sealing. Prior to any work being done, you’ll need to provide proof of landlord’s permission, and demonstrate that the lease and utilities are in your name. 

Whether you rent or own, your dwelling is one of your biggest investments. This is an easy, first step to make sure it’s operating at peak performance.
