Many of us live in underinsulated, leaky homes. There’s a lot of air sweeping into and through our homes, making them uncomfortable and expensive to heat and cool.
How can you tell if your walls are properly insulated and air sealed? Start with a no-cost home energy assessment.
A well insulated attic stops heat loss in the winter and blocks heat gain in the summer, and can save you up 30-50% in energy bills.
And it might be FREE!
For renters, homeowners and landlords in 1-4 unit buildings, air sealing is at no cost and insulation ranges from 75-100% off.
Any of your costs are eligible for a 0% Mass Save Heat Loan. Plus, you will be eligible for a 30% federal tax credit up to $1,200 per year for insulation and air sealing from the Inflation Reduction Act. Estimate your savings via this calculator from Rewiring America. How the Mass Save rebates and federal tax credits may be combined remains to be determined.
