Replacing an existing heating/cooling system or water heater, or adding air conditioning, can be a time-consuming and confusing process. It’s best to start this process well before the existing system fails to allow time to learn about heat pump options, obtain multiple quotes from installers and make an informed decision. A volunteer or paid coach or advocate who does not have a financial stake in the outcome can help you get started and, in some cases, guide you all the way through the process.
Some Massachusetts communities have local energy coaching programs for residents while others are served by HeatSmart Alliance volunteer coaches.

If your community is not listed but served by the Mass Save program, you can request a no-cost consultation with a Mass Save Heating and Cooling Specialist.
