Eversource and National Grid have launched a new program that pays up to 100% of the cost of weatherization (insulation, air sealing, and weatherstripping) eligible projects in houses of worship (HOW) for buildings that meet the program energy consumption and related requirements.
Worship buildings, social halls, schools, and other faith community-owned buildings are eligible. This has great potential to lower costs and carbon emissions – weatherization often lowers heating/cooling costs up to 20%.
Eversource or National Grid will pay 100% of the cost of weatherization projects like insulation, air sealing and weatherstripping. Note: program has historically paid up to 70%. The program will run through the end of this year.
Massachusetts Interfaith Power and Light is working with Eversource and National Grid as well as with independent insulation contractor, Advanced Green Insulation, to engage as many houses of worship in the state as we can. For each project MassIPL brings them, they will make a donation to support our work.
To participate:
- Email Jim Nail at MassIPL (jnail@massipl.org) and provide the house of worship name and address, a contact name, email address, and phone number.
- Jim will forward the information to Advanced Green Insulation (AGI).
- AGI will reach out to the contact to schedule the assessment.
- AGI will send the proposal, including the Eversource/National Grid approved incentive amount.
- Review, sign and return the proposal to AGI, and they will contact you to schedule the work.
Correction: a previous post incorrectly stated that MassSave was the sponsor of the program.
