MassSAVE Energy Audits

Something free that then starts paying you for the indefinite future.

It is not hype, but truth. The utility companies of Mass., including NSTAR and National Grid, offer you free home energy audits through MassSave. Your audit results in recommendations for energy-saving upgrades that reduce heating, cooling and electricity bills, and often reduce drafts to make your house more comfortable. The upgrades are offered at steep discounts to encourage you to start saving dollars and energy.

An energy audit takes less than two hours. The auditor needs access to the attic and basement to provide a complete report. If you provide last year's utility bills, they become a baseline on usage and dollars spent, so that an auditor can estimate cost savings based on various suggestions.

For August and September, a total of nine Weston residents had MassSave audits, so people recognize their value. Now is an excellent time to schedule one, before the winter heating season. To contact MassSave, call 866-527-7283, or www.masssave.com.
