## Who We Are

MA Energy Advisors is an independent home energy advisory service serving Massachusetts homeowners. We are **not** a government agency, utility company, or Mass Save itself. We are a private, unbiased service that helps homeowners navigate the Massachusetts energy efficiency landscape.

Our parent organization is **NE Energy Advisors** (New England Energy Advisors), which operates across New England.

**Contact:**
- Email: info@maenergy.org

## Our Mission

To provide honest, unbiased home energy assessments and connect Massachusetts homeowners to the right Mass Save–approved contractors, rebate programs, and energy efficiency incentives — without pressure or commission-driven recommendations.

## Primary Service Area

Massachusetts, with current availability noted in:
- Essex County
- Norfolk County
- Worcester County

We serve all of Massachusetts through our statewide contractor network.

## Core Services

### Home Energy Assessments
Independent, whole-home assessments that evaluate insulation, heating systems, air sealing, hot water equipment, and overall energy performance.

### Program Matching
We connect homeowners with the programs they actually qualify for, including:
- **Mass Save** — energy efficiency rebates and no-cost assessments through Eversource, National Grid, and Unitil
- **Heat Pump Rebates** — up to $8,500 in rebates for cold-climate heat pumps
- **Insulation Upgrades** — rebates on attic, wall, and basement insulation
- **Smart Thermostat Rebates** — incentives for qualifying smart thermostats
- **SMART Solar Program** — solar incentive program for Massachusetts

### Solar Consultations
Guidance on the Massachusetts SMART solar incentive program and how solar fits into a broader home energy plan.

## What Makes Us Different

- **Independent:** We are not employed by or affiliated with any utility or contractor. Our guidance is not commission-driven.
- **Whole-home view:** We assess the full picture before recommending any upgrade.
- **Program navigation:** Many homeowners don't know what they qualify for. We do.
