How to Keep Cool & Save Money This Summer:
The summer heat is here, and with it comes the hum of air conditioners, fans running full blast, and rising energy bills. But staying cool doesn’t have to come at a high cost.
At Colt Home Services, we help Massachusetts homeowners unlock the benefits of the Mass Save® program which include no-cost home energy assessments and generous rebates that can make your home more comfortable and efficient year-round.
Here are our top tips to keep your home cool and your wallet happy this summer:
1. Don’t Let Cool Air Slip Out
If your home has air leaks, you’re essentially paying to air-condition the outdoors. Sealing those leaks can make a huge difference in how well your home holds onto cool air. During a no-cost home energy assessment, our team checks for drafts and seals them on the spot… at zero cost to you!
2. Use Heat-Producing Appliances Strategically
Ovens, dishwashers, and dryers all add heat to your home. Try to use these appliances during the early morning or late evening when it’s cooler outside. Even better: opt for grilling outdoors, letting dishes air dry, or using a clothesline for laundry.
3. Upgrade Where It Counts
Older air conditioners and HVAC systems can be major energy hogs. If your system is outdated, upgrading to an energy-efficient model can save you big over time, and with up to $16,000 in Mass Save rebates (plus access to 0% interest financing through the HEAT Loan program), it’s more affordable than ever.
4. Get A No-Cost Home Energy Assessment
Want personalized recommendations to reduce your energy use and boost comfort? The first step is to schedule a home energy assessment with Colt Home Services. This assessment will provide a comprehensive report on your home’s current energy efficiency, suggest areas for improvement, and make you eligible for the Mass Save rebates.
An energy specialist from Colt Home Services will evaluate your home’s existing energy use and then make recommendations on how to improve its efficiency. This can range from sealing air leaks to installing insulation or even upgrading your heating system. Once the assessment is complete, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge to make energy-saving improvements and apply for the relevant rebates.
