Mass Save Home Energy Assessments for Landlords
Here is a quick list of the top energy efficiency services we offer:
Why Mass Save® Is a Smart Move for Landlords
Owning a rental property requires balancing building improvements with operating costs. The Mass Save program offers incentives for landlords of 1–4 unit properties in Massachusetts to improve insulation, air sealing, and heating systems.
A Mass Save home energy assessment evaluates the entire building, including common areas and accessible units, to determine eligibility for rebates.
Why Landlords Participate in the Mass Save Program
A home energy assessment focuses on whole-building performance. Improvements may help:
• Reduce uncontrolled air leakage
• Improve tenant comfort
• Address insulation gaps
• Improve heating system efficiency
• Support long-term building durability
Eligibility and rebate levels depend on property type, occupancy status, and utility participation.
Core Weatherization Incentives for Rental Properties
Weatherization improvements are commonly recommended for rental properties.
Air Sealing
Air sealing reduces energy loss by addressing gaps in attics, basements, and structural penetrations. In many cases, air sealing may qualify for full coverage under current Mass Save guidelines.
Insulation Upgrades
For renter-occupied units, recommended insulation improvements such as attic, wall, or basement insulation may qualify for significant rebates.
If the property includes an owner-occupied unit, incentive levels may vary.
Eligibility is determined during the assessment process.
Additional Incentives for Property Owners
Landlords may also qualify for:
High-efficiency heat pump rebates
HEAT Loan financing up to $25,000
Barrier remediation support when required prior to insulation
Rebate amounts and financing eligibility depend on project scope and lender approval.

I never write reviews, ever. I had to write this one because I was honestly blown away by this company.
It started with Sean coming over for what I assumed was … Read More just a standard quick inspection. He didn't just look around, he actually installed 6 new thermostats in my house right then and there, completely for free (to me). That set the tone for the whole experience, and the crew that came later really amazed me also.
Jack and Jacob contacted me when they were on the way, showed up exactly on time, and worked harder than I expected was possible. They had to fully insulate the house (attic, 2nd floor, 1st floor, basement, and an outside crawl space). The weather was miserable. It was absolutely freezing outside, and then it started pouring rain. Jack and Jacob were up on ladders, freezing and soaking wet, and they just kept working without a single complaint. They honestly could have taken the easy route and drilled through my inner walls to get the job done fast. Instead, they chose to do it the hard way to make sure they didn't destroy the inside of my house. They took the time to remove the vinyl siding, drill from the outside in, and then put the siding back on perfectly. You just do not find people who care that much about your home anymore.
Jack was incredible at keeping me fully updated through the entire process so I never had to guess what was going on. It turned into a massive project. What was supposed to be a 2-day job turned into 4 days of them working morning till night. They stayed until it was done right, they were extremely polite and knowledgeable the whole time, and there was zero upcharge for the extra days of labor.
Jack, Jacob, and Sean are the absolute stars of the show here. These guys are who you want to work on your home, period. -
Joe Frasso did a very good job with analyzing my home and assessing the needs to make iy more efficient. He was very pleasant, informative, and helpful with talking … Read More about the needs and options. -
I had a wonderful experience. Joe was a pleasure to deal with. He was extremely thorough in his assessment and communicated everything to me on how to make our home … Read More more efficient and carbon neutral, we are going to move forward with insulation and are very intrigued in moving off of oil now that he explained to us the turn key program! Highly recommend colt home services!
