Here's How it Works
-
Certain measures require completing Home Energy Assessment (HEA) through Mass Save to understand your home’s existing condition and identify any requirements that need to be addressed first. A HEA is mandatory if you plan to pursue any of the following: Whole Home Heat Pump, Partial Home Heat Pump (when pursuing bonus incentives), windows, weatherization, and weatherization barriers. For all other financeable measures, an HEA is not required, though it is recommended as it may help identify additional opportunities for savings. Schedule a NO COST Mass Save HEAT Loan Home Energy Assessment, online or by calling 866-527-7283.
- The representative will provide a HEAT Loan Intake Form, Program Steps, and Minimum Standards and Requirements at the time of assessment
- Find a Mass Save approved contractor and obtain a proposal(s) for the energy-efficient improvements you want to finance
- Send the proposal(s) for review and approval to your Mass Save HEAT Loan representative along with your HEAT Loan Intake Form.
- If your improvements qualify, you will receive a Mass Save HEAT Loan Authorization Form.
- Bring this with you to Jeanne D’Arc along with any other requirements for financing and finalizing your loan
- Schedule your contractor to complete the work within 90 days
- Once complete, pay your contractor with the check supplied by Jeanne D’Arc
- A Mass Save representative will then conduct a post-installation inspection on your new energy-efficiency improvements
- After a passing inspection, sign the check over to your contractor and any additional eligible rebates are processed.
