CAPE SAVE Weatherization

Why Heat Pumps & Weatherization Go Hand in Hand

For a number of reasons, heat pumps and weatherization go hand in hand.

Increase Efficiency & Lower Energy Costs

When you’re installing a new, high-efficiency HVAC system, you want to ensure that the home is well-insulated to keep that heated or cooled air inside the home. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, adding insulation to your home, particularly in areas like attics, floors over crawl spaces, and basements, can save homeowners an average of 15% on their heating and cooling costs, which translates to around 11% on total energy costs.

Mass Save Incentives & Weatherization Requirements

Proper weatherization is a requirement if you’d like to take advantage of the Mass Save heat pump incentives, such as rebates, heat loans, etc. A Mass Save auditor will come to your home (at no charge) to assess the energy efficiency of key pieces of equipment, with special attention paid to the insulation and any cracks or leaks.

If weatherization is recommended, you must complete that work in order to qualify for the incentives. The good news: Mass Save will pay for 100% of any air sealing and 75% of any required insulation (possibly more for low-income customers).
