Back to Electrification

Whether you are renting, buying your first fixer-upper, or you are simply ready to update your home equipment, we can help you accomplish your electrification goals. The Sponsors of Mass Save offer nationally recognized energy efficiency programs that help make high-efficiency electric technologies more affordable and can provide helpful information to guide you through your energy decisions.

Electrifying your home can help you feel more comfortable and reduce your carbon footprint.

 

Your Path to Home Electrification

The Sponsors of Mass Save have created a step-by-step process to home electrification based on research and best practices. However, since all homes (and all people) are unique, your path to home electrification may vary based on your needs.


Step 1

Weatherize

Weatherization, including insulation and air sealing, helps reduce the amount of energy your home uses to stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This can dramatically improve the comfort of your home and may allow you to buy a smaller, less expensive heating and cooling system.

Step 3

Electrify Your Heating, Cooling, and Major Appliances

Get off fossil fuels and switch to all-electric options for your major home systems like space heating, water heating, and cooking.

Step 5

Power with Renewables and Battery Storage

Installing solar panels and a battery storage system or subscribing to a community solar plan means you can power your electrified home with 100% renewable energy.

 

Step 2

Consider Your Electric Panel

If you haven't upgraded your home's electrical panel, consult a qualified electrician. An upgrade may be necessary to prepare your home for electrification and can be included in a 0% interest loan through the Mass Save HEAT Loan Program.

 

Step 4

Electrify Your Small Appliances & Tools

Options for electric lawn mowers, small appliances, and more can help you fully electrify your home.

Key Considerations for Home Electrification

The best path to home electrification is one that takes your particular goals and needs into consideration. That's why we have tailored offers for homeowners, landlords, renters and new construction projects.

Regardless of your unique path to electrification, the Sponsors of Mass Save recommend:

  • Working with an accountant or tax professional to understand how federal and state tax credits on electrification products and services could impact your decisions.
  • Working with qualified decarbonization specialists to ensure your path to an electrified home works for your unique goals and needs.
  • Exploring additional rebates that may be available to you based on income-eligibility.

To learn more about how you can save energy and electrify your home, get started with a decarbonization consultation.
