Weston Clean Heat Campaign Launched

In an exciting follow-up to the successful HEA campaign last year, the Weston Climate Group is collaborating with Next Step Living, Inc. and the Massachusetts Chapter of the Sierra Club to help Weston homeowners find sensible ways to move beyond the high cost of heating with oil and natural gas with less expensive, cleaner and more sustainable alternatives. We are calling this campaign Clean Heat, since the greatest improvement opportunities are for those switching away from heating with oil to more economically, and environmentally, sustainable modes. That said, everyone can benefit from more efficient alternatives to at least some extent.

$ per million BTUs

“This educational campaign will introduce Weston homeowners to cost effective heating and cooling options that will reduce dependence on oil or natural gas and help to eliminate toxic and climate changing emissions,” said Ed Woll, Vice Chair, Massachusetts Chapter of the Sierra Club.  Campaign representatives will be at the public library, at popular retail establishments and in Weston neighborhoods to answer questions about air source heat pumps and encourage homeowners to take the first step by signing up for Next Step Living’s free no obligation home heating and cooling assessment. 

Everyone in Weston should be receiving a letter about this campaign, plus there will be articles in the Town Crier and online. Upcoming ways to learn more about clean heating and cooling alternatives in-person include:
