1) What is the Mass Save® program?
Mass Save® is a statewide initiative designed to help Massachusetts residents lower their energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint. This program offers rebates and incentives for a variety of home energy upgrades, including insulation, heating systems, appliances, and thermostats.
Your Mass Save® journey begins with a no-cost home energy assessment, during which a certified professional will evaluate your home’s energy efficiency and suggest improvements. Based on the results, you can apply for rebates and incentives to make upgrading more affordable.
2) Why upgrade to a smart thermostat?
Smart thermostats are popular because they let homeowners save on heating and cooling costs by optimizing their home’s temperature control. A smart thermostat reduces unnecessary energy consumption by closely controlling your heating and cooling.
Bear in mind that two types of upgraded thermostats are available through Mass Save®:
- Programmable thermostats allow you to set precise heating and cooling schedules based on your routine. For example, you can program your thermostat to lower the temperature when you’re asleep or away and raise it before you wake up or come home.
- Smart thermostats take energy savings a step further by learning your habits and adjusting temperatures automatically. They use sensors, weather data, and even smartphone location tracking to optimize your energy use in real-time.
Many modern thermostats can be controlled remotely through an app, letting you adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere. Some also integrate with voice assistants and other smart home devices.
Whether you choose a programmable or smart thermostat, upgrading can lead to lower energy bills, greater convenience, and a reduced carbon footprint. And thanks to Mass Save® rebates, making this switch is more affordable than you might think!
