In Massachusetts, the winters can be cold, windy, and dark. To keep your home comfortable, you may use more electricity than usual during winter. This can lead to high electric bills, making choosing between comfort and cost-effectiveness difficult. Luckily, there are ways to lower your winter electric bills in Massachusetts by taking advantage of Mass Save services. By making energy-efficient upgrades around your home, you can save money on your electric bills and get discounts on the services through Mass Save. In this blog, we will discuss how the Mass Save program can help you lower your winter electric bills and the services AES offers to help you achieve energy efficiency.
Why Are Utility Bills Higher in the Winter?
If you own a home in Massachusetts, your utility bills tend to be higher in the winter months. This is because, during the colder season, we use our heating and lighting systems more than usual. We also tend to spend more time indoors and use electronics, increasing energy usage. If there is a large storm or ice build-up, your system may also need to work harder if it is not energy efficient. All of these factors contribute to higher electric bills in the winter.
How Does Mass Save Help Homeowners Reduce Their Energy Usage & Costs?
Mass Save is a network of Massachusetts utilities that offers energy efficiency programs to help homeowners save money on their electric and gas bills. Through Mass Save, homeowners can access services such as free home energy assessments and rebates for energy-efficient upgrades. Whether your home needs new insulation, resealing of doors and windows, or a more energy-efficient lighting system, Mass Save can help you make the necessary upgrades at a discounted cost for long-term savings.
Top 3 Ways to Lower Your Winter Electric Bills with AES & Mass Save
At AVID Energy Solutions, we provide a variety of services to help homeowners achieve energy efficiency and reduce their winter electric bills. Here are the top 3 ways we can work with Mass Save to lower your electric costs this winter:
Schedule a No-Cost Home Energy Assessment
Through Mass Save, homeowners can schedule a no-cost home energy assessment to identify areas of their homes where energy is wasted the most. This can include drafty windows and doors, damaged insulation, and outdated light fixtures. Our team at AES can perform this assessment and work with Mass Save to provide you with a plan and rebates for making necessary upgrades.
Replace Insulation with New Fiberglass or Blown-In Options
One of the most effective ways to lower your winter electric bills is to improve the insulation in your home. This helps keep warm air inside during the colder months, reducing the need for your heating system to work as hard. With Mass Save, homeowners can save up to 75-100% on insulation upgrades, making it a cost-effective solution for short and long-term savings. These types of insulation also offer air quality, soundproofing, and moisture control benefits.
Upgrade to Energy-Efficient Lighting
Older lighting fixtures and bulbs use significantly more energy than newer, energy-efficient options. By upgrading to LED bulbs, homeowners can reduce their energy usage and costs. In the winter, the sun goes down earlier, meaning more hours of darkness and an increased need for lighting. Instead of seeing your electric bill increase as well, you can make the switch to LED bulbs and see a significant decrease in energy usage. With Mass Save, homeowners can also receive installation and replacement services discounts.
