What Is a No-Cost Home Energy Assessment?

A no-cost home energy assessment is the first step towards understanding and improving the energy efficiency of your home. Under the Mass Save program, homeowners, renters, and landlords across Massachusetts can request a no-cost home energy assessment to identify potential energy-saving opportunities and receive recommendations for upgrades. Unlike other programs where you must apply for rebates after completing upgrades, the Mass Save program provides a full assessment of your home’s energy use at no cost to you. In this blog, we will discuss what a no-cost home energy assessment is, the areas of your home that are inspected, and how AVID Energy Solutions can help you schedule your audit!

What Happens During a No-Cost Home Energy Assessment?

During a free home energy assessment, an energy expert will visit your home and inspect various areas. Here are some of the key areas they will evaluate.

Windows & Door Inspection

Inspecting your windows and doors is essential, as drafts can waste energy. These drafts can increase the costs of heating and air conditioning since both systems will need to work harder to maintain comfortable temperatures.

Insulation Check

Insulation plays a significant role in lowering energy costs by preventing heat loss in the winter and keeping heat out in the summer. Checking your insulation will help determine your home’s energy efficiency, potentially leading to lower utility bills.

Heating & Air Conditioning Evaluation

The inspector will also evaluate your heating and air conditioning systems to ensure they function efficiently. A faulty system can cause these units to work harder, consuming more energy than necessary.

Energy-Saving Products Installation

During your inspection, the assessor may recommend different energy-saving products. These can include smart power strips, faucet aerators, low-flow showerheads, and digital programmable thermostats. These products are often provided for free to help you and your community become more energy-efficient.

Who Can Get A No-Cost Home Energy Assessment?

Under the Mass Save Program, a no-cost home energy assessment is available to all residential homeowners, renters, and landlords in Massachusetts. The program is designed to help all households, regardless of their income level. To find out if you are eligible for discounted weatherization audits and services, read our blog!

I live in Arlington MA. and called Mass Save for a free energy audit and they sent an auditor from AVID Energy Solutions. I spoke with Kelly on the phone a few times and we worked out a plan and a day for them to come. Kelly was very friendly, personable and helpful on several occasion and she is obviously a great asset to the company. A couple weeks later, three hard working gentlemen came and did a great job adding insulation to the attic and a large crawl space and to the basement in a few areas that needed attending to. They also added weather stripping to all exterior doors to remove any drafts. All of this work was 100% free to me because of my lower income status and it will save me a lot of energy use and money. After a lot of very hard work that took the three men most of the day they cleaned up very well and left. Very friendly and professional!

We participated in the Mass. Energy Saving Program in December 2022. Eric and Mario came to our house and gave us some valuable suggestions and offered us very good quotes if we decided to have some home improvements in our attic to save our house energy cost in the future. Eric always answered our questions promptly and in detail by emails. Mario and his team came to add another 9" insulation in our attic. They were all professional, friendly, and responsive for what they did during their long working day. They cleaned the areas after their work. We were very happy with their work. We would like to recommend the company to any friends and relatives if they need to have some energy saving projects.
