Homeowner Energy Resources

Making energy improvements to your home can save you money and energy, improve your comfort, and increase the value of your home.

Each year, the average New England homeowner spends almost $3,000 on energy.1 This expense is one of the reasons homebuyers are asking about energy costs during the homebuying process. According to the 2021 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends Report by the National Association of REALTORS, heating and cooling costs were the most important environmental features for recent home buyers, with 32% finding these features very important.² 


On average, home buyers are willing to pay an additional $8,728 upfront on a home in order to save $1,000 a year in utility bills, according to the National Association of Home Builders’ study, What Home Buyers Really Want (2019 Edition).³ So if you reduce your energy costs you can increase the value of your home.

As a homeowner, you have many energy-saving options you can take advantage of. Some energy efficiency upgrades are inexpensive—such as weather-stripping and caulking—and others can require a greater investment. Similarly, renewable energy systems can be installed using no money down lease options or purchased using state and federal incentives.

We can help you make the best smart energy choices for your home with expert advice, rebates, and financing.
