Frequently Asked Questions

Home » Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Home Energy Assessment?

A qualified specialist comes to your home. They evaluate your energy use, your insulation levels and the efficiency of your heating and cooling system. After which they present you with a list of recommended energy saving improvements designed to lower your utility bills and increase the comfort of your home. Each item on the list includes both a price and available rebates that you can take advantage of.

What does a Home Energy Assessment cost?

No cost to you. But indirectly we all pay for it through the Energy Efficiency Charge on our monthly electric and gas bills. Next time your gas or electric bill comes in check it out for yourself. The money is collected in a large pool and given back to us in the form of rebates which homeowners can use for energy efficient upgrades.

How big are the rebates?
  • Up to 75% off the cost of insulation and 100% off the cost of air sealing
  • Up to $500.00 on electric heating and cooling equipment
  • $750.00 on electric heat pump water heaters
  • $75.00 on WiFi programmable thermostats
  • Up to $1200.00 on natural gas boilers or furnaces
  • Up to $600.00 on natural gas water heaters
  • And more
What gives the utility company the right to collect this Energy Efficiency Charge?

All major utility companies are required to do this by the General Laws of the state in which they are located.

I already had an energy assessment done in the past but did not go ahead with the recommended improvements, do I still qualify?

The energy assessments are good for three years. After three years you are eligible and may be required to have another no-cost energy assessment performed in order to proceed with weatherization.

What is the 0% interest Heat Loan Program?

If you have a no-cost energy assessment done on your home you may qualify for a 0% interest loan up to $25000.00 to be used for eligible energy efficiency upgrades. Monthly loan payments due will be added to your monthly utility bill.  The money for the loan can be used for the following upgrades,

  • Insulation & air sealing
  • Duct sealing & duct insulation
  • Replacement windows
  • Barriers to weatherization (The removal of knob & tube wiring, mold and asbestos)
  • Natural gas heating systems
  • Natural gas water heaters
  • Central air conditioning systems
  • Electric heat pump water heaters
  • Electric air source heat pumps

With the potential for a 0% interest loan and up to 75% in rebates there has never been a better time to act.

Does Energy Geeks perform the energy assessment?

The energy assessment is performed by either Energy Geeks, RISE Engineering or CleaResults. The actual work is performed by Energy Geeks.

What role does Energy Geeks play?

Energy Geeks helps to streamline the application process. After which our own technicians perform the actual work. We specialize in attic and wall insulation, air sealing, duct sealing and replacement windows. If any roadblock to energy efficiency upgrades such as old knob and tube wiring or mold are present we can help with that to.

How long does the entire process take?

Anywhere between two to six months depending on the time of year. Winter is the busiest time of year.

What does the average job cost before and after the rebates?

The average job cost for insulation and air sealing is approximately $3,500.00 before rebates. Available rebates may bring the actual cost to the homeowner down below $1,000.00. The homeowner balance may be financed through the 0% interest Heat Loan Program for qualifying homeowners.

This is a win for the Utility companies because they avoid having to build new and expensive power plants; it’s a win for the homeowner because they get huge energy upgrades for a fraction of the cost and it is a win for the environment because homes with energy efficient upgrades use less energy and produce fewer carbon emissions.

The crew that came out to my house did a great job. The weather was extremely hot both days so working in the attic in that heat was not easy. They were all very professional and keep the place clean like they were never here. They also got along with my kids who were harassing them the whole day. The final product came out great and I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested.

Sandra – South Deerfield, MA

Great Experience! Danny and his crew installed new insulation in our attic, replacing ducting of bathroom fan and roof vents. Their work is beautifully done and a pleasure to look at. They also installed weather stripping and neatly did basement air sealing . We could see a dramatic improvement in the decrease in draftiness after their work with the pre/post measurement. Danny was thoughtfully detailed and oversaw all the work being done, we are assured of the quality of these improvements. They were a pleasure to work with, professional and personable, neat and respectful. There was great communication with them and the Energy Geeks office. We absolutely recommend Energy Geeks, and Danny and his crew.

Liz – Westborough, MA

The Energy Geeks crew was absolutely knowledgeable, hard-working, prompt and courteous.We had our house air sealed and attic insulation sprayed on Aug. 16, during a heat wave when we were running our central air 24/7. Just got our electric bill, and it was $50 less than the previous month...an awesome savings! I've got to believe that we'll be using a lot less propane to heat our house this winter, Energy Geek was also great about protecting my carpeting and furnishings during the work, and they explained everything they were doing to seal air leaks and spray in attic insulation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others and to have them work at my home again. Thanks Energy Geeks!

The work we had done by Energy Geeks has made a huge difference in the overall comfort of our home. The temperature throughout is more consistent and we were able to keep our thermostat lower in the winter and cool off the entire house faster this summer which is already saving us money.

We recommend Energy Geeks to everyone.

Thomas – MA

Danny and his crew arrived at my home on Mon, Jan 8th. and did an amazing job. They were respectful and cleaned up as they worked. This was not an easy application. This hard working crew had to crawl into a space with little room to apply the insulation. It was difficult compounding the problem was the cold, snow, and a crawl space height of 17 inches. Nevertheless, all challenges were met and the work was completed in a exemplary manner. Would I recommend Energy Geeks and this crew to work in your home? Yes I would!
