Other incentives such as free Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs), gas heating and hot water systems as well as central air conditioning and lighting are also available through the application. Applicants who apply for incentives under the Massachusetts New Homes with ENERGY STAR program are ineligible to receive incentives for equipment or energy efficiency measures made available through other Sponsor Programs such as GasNetworks and COOL Smart.
Incentives apply for homes built within the service territory of the electric Sponsor. For homes built in an area serviced by a municipal electric company, and heated by natural gas, incentives will be paid by the appropriate gas utility Sponsor.
