Healthy, Comfy, Energy Efficient, Low Cost Homes
There are numerous things you can do for your home, apartment, and office.
To learn how access government incentive dollars, free technical advice in order to make money-saving home energy improvements you can get a no cost energy coach from the Town of Wellesley. In addition, feel free to watch the recording of an event we did a few years back on SAVING MONEY ON HOME HEATING AND COOLING.
The first thing an energy coach (or anyone) will recommend is to get a NO COST energy assessment - or get your landlord to get one.
Even if you live in an older home, there are many options to:
Heat and Cool Your Home Smarter
Air source heat pumps save you money while heating and cooling your home. They are especially cost competitive due to Wellesley's low electricity rates. Plan BEFORE your aging air conditioner or archaic heating system breaks down. Wellesley's Clean Comfort Program offers a rebate of up to $2,000 for qualifying residents who install air source heat pumps. Click here for more details about this program.
The modern and efficient air source heat pumps move heat rather than generate it, significantly lowering operating cost and eliminating the need for separate heating and cooling systems.
