Your profile can help you save on energy… and money. Keep your information updated and get the latest rebates based on your unique energy needs.
Energy bills can be a significant burden for many of our Massachusetts families and small businesses, which can disproportionately affect residents of Environmental Justice communities. Energy efficiency solutions can dramatically reduce energy bills, improve indoor air quality, and create more home comfort, and are available for everyone.*
The Sponsors of Mass Save have a number of programs to help families and small businesses manage their energy costs—from fuel assistance, to heating equipment upgrades, and to weatherization upgrades. We are partnering with organizations and local communities across the state as trusted local experts to help Massachusetts families and small businesses located in Environmental Justice communities save money and energy through our programs.

Community Partner Teams will be eligible for up to $60,000 in funding annually for three years, as well as in-kind marketing and technical support from Program Sponsors.
In 2020, the seven Community Partner Teams efforts helped achieve:
674 small businesses served with energy efficiency upgrades
Fidel Maltez
Commissioner
Department of Public Works
Chelsea City Hall
“As an Environmental Justice community, residents, and small businesses of the City of Chelsea, would benefit tremendously from the energy efficiency programs offered by MassSave and sponsored by Eversource and National Grid. Unfortunately, participation in these programs has been historically low in Chelsea. In the past two years, through the Municipal Partnership Grant, we have been able to fund an intern that works for the Deparment of Public Works and is solely focused on increasing participation in the program. Over the last two years, we have done door-knocking campaigns, mailers, bus shelter ads, public forums and many other tools that have substantially increased participation in the MassSave programs from our residents. We are thankful for the partnership and we are confident that we can continue to increase participation in the MassSave programs in the future.”

City of Lawrence
"Ten years ago, I purchased my single family home and within that same year in the winter, my furnace went out and I ended up with no heat. I was in a tough situation as I had exhausted most of my savings in purchasing and fixing up my home. Thanks to the Mass Save Heat Loan Program, I was able to get my home insulated for free and was approved for a zero-interest loan to replace my furnace. It is hard for homeowners to save and when one has to pay for a big repair items such as a furnace, it can really be costly. I am thankful that there is a program like Mass Save. The insulation in my home allowed me to save energy and it helped keep my home warm in the winter. Recently, I found that my central air conditioning unit needs to be replace. I plan on re-applying to the same program for assistance because I know it works great and its easy to apply."

“Methuen is in its third year as a Commonwealth-designated Green Community and we’ve been strategically focused on working to make our municipal buildings and operations more energy efficient and environment-friendly. The MassSave Municipal Partnership has been a tremendous opportunity to involve the entire community in our sustainability initiatives and make the Commonwealth’s energy saving incentives more visible and accessible throughout our community.”
