What Is a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment for Renters?
A Mass Save home energy assessment for renters is a no-cost evaluation that identifies where a rental unit may be losing energy. The assessment reviews insulation, air leakage, heating systems, and overall efficiency within the space.
For renters in Massachusetts, the process is straightforward. An energy specialist evaluates the unit and provides a report outlining energy-saving recommendations and available incentives. Some improvements may require landlord approval, particularly when upgrades involve building systems or insulation.
The assessment helps both tenants and property owners understand which Mass Save rebates may apply.
