Are you and your neighbors heating with oil? Is your heating system aging and in need or replacement? Are you curious about upgrading your home heating system to a more environmentally friendly, efficient, and cleaner heat pump system that also provides cooling? The Northbriar neighborhood has been identified as a community where many of you might answer these questions in the affirmative!
Come to the neighborhood WEBINAR on Clean Heating and Cooling options!! Register HERE.
On Thursday, April 13th, at 7:00pm, the Town of Acton Sustainability Office Director, Andrea Becerra, with the leadership of your neighborhood clean energy champion, Susan Tripathy, invite you to explore the above questions with Mike Simons of Abode Energy Management, which has a contract with the Town of Acton. Abode Energy Managament is a respected energy consulting firm dedicated to energy efficiency and carbon reduction in Massachusetts homes and buildings. Their years of experience working with utilities, contractors, and homeowners, together with their commitment to a clean energy future, have led them to be one of the most innovative, respected firms in the arena of home heating and cooling. Join Mike for an informative (and even fun!) discussion of your energy options.
The webinar will include the why of heat pumps, the savings possibilities, federal and state incentives (including the importance of a Mass Save home energy audit), and other clean energy technologies such as solar and electric vehicles. The Sustainability Office will also introduce the Town of Acton’s new NeighborhoodClean Heating and Cooling Project.
After the webinar, you will have the opportunity to express interest in moving forward with this new initiative. The Neighborhood Clean Heating and Cooling Project aims to make it easier and more affordable to switch to cold-climate heat pump systems. Depending on the level of interest, Abode will organize a “Contractors Day.” The aim is to have 2-3 Abode-vetted contractors visit participating homes and give the homeowners (and Abode) proposals for upgrading to heat pumps. Abode can help homeowners compare estimates, answer questions, and understand their options. Acton’s new, free Clean Energy Coaches, trained by Abode, can also help. The coaches are available to assist homeowners through the initial research phase to post-installation.
Please join in the webinar and begin to explore your options!
