Energy Saving Rebates & Programs
No-Cost Home Energy Assessments
In partnership with HLPD, Energy New England (ENE) provides no-cost Home Energy Assessments for HLPD’s residential customers. Our highly trained and experienced Residential Energy Advisors will assess your home’s energy efficiency to identify heating, lighting, weatherization, and rebate opportunities that can save you money on your utility bills.
ENE’s Energy Advisor conducts an in-person or virtual walk-through of your home, inputting information into our energy-efficiency software to create a report for you that analyzes your home’s energy usage, identifies home improvement projects that can lower your energy costs, and links to HLPD’s rebates and incentives.
To begin scheduling your Home Energy Assessment please complete a brief online intake form or print and mail an intake form.
