Today I am completely fossil fuel free in my home

Action: 3613 - Install Mini-Splits Heat Pumps

A presentation on MassSave opened my eyes to all the incentives for moving off fossil fuels.  I had only been aware of tax credits.  The first step to participate is to have MassSave evaluate your home’s needs.  In my first year of home ownership, I installed a heat pump system and replaced my gas stove with an induction range.  There are generous rebates for both and other investments. 

Since then, I have replaced my gas water heater with a heat pump water heater and invested in a solar system.  The water heater also received a MassSave rebate, and both qualify for large tax credits that cover almost a third of my investment. 

Today I am completely fossil fuel free in my home.  I did retain my old gas furnace as backup, but after only using it one day last winter, I anticipate being able to decommission it soon.
