Winter is upon us! And what this can mean is: cold floors, drafts, musty indoor air, ice dams and water leaks. Or, it can mean: warm floors and home comfort, cozy nights when the cold wind is howling and no snow roof raking! I vote for the latter. And having just purchased a home I am hurrying to button up my home, be warm and save energy.
So, I took advantage of the Mass Save energy efficiency incentives. And why not? I, you, we pay for the line item charge on our utility bill for energy efficiency. So what incentives did I secure?
- Partial incentive towards comprehensive home energy assessment: $175 WMECO
- 8 hours of air sealing: $700 value
- $2,000 for insulation measures
- 0% interest $11K heat loan to finance the install of a high efficiency gas furnace and instant on hot water heater. My current monthly loan payment is only $130. Keep in mind that I use to heat with oil and would have paid at $3.50/gallon over $2,400 for heat! Combined with the high efficiency of the furnace and appliance rebate of $1,300, I will save well over $1,500 this winter.
- Free compact florescent light bulbs, programmable thermostats, low flow shower head.
So start to save today! You can secure up to $2,700 in incentives plus significant rebates for high efficiency gas and electric appliances. Call a Home Performance Contractor to begin increasing the quality of your home living: Comfort, Healthand Savings.
