Brrr, it’s cold out there! And many of us live in apartments or homes that get drafty when the temp drops. But there are lots of ways to "weatherize" your place.
"Weatherization" means insulating, plugging holes, or air sealing a building. Check out our tips to keep your place warmer this winter – and save money in the process!
Want to go all in on weatherization? Have a MassSave assessment done (rebates available!) - let Green Beverly help you through the process!
|
|
Insulation is critical to more comfortable living spaces and efficient buildings, and making buildings more efficient is one of the best ways to reduce a community's carbon output. Check out our page "Free and Low Cost" home heating actions |
|
|
|
Is your home warmer because you added insulation or plugged the holes where the cold was coming in? Did you DIY, or use the MassSave program? We would love to know your weatherization story! Tell us about what was done, and how it changed your living space! Email your story to info@greenbeverly.org with "insulation" in the subject line. |
|
|
|
WHY? We want to spread the word to all Beverly residents, but especially landlords* and renters** that weatherizing improves living spaces and saves money -- and the MassSave Program has rebates for this work
Landlords need buy-in from their renters to do this work
Renters need to hear local stories about how weatherizing their buildings could rock their world!
*Are you a landlord or do you know a landlord? We would love to talk with you or them!
**Are you a renter who wants a warmer apartment? Connect us with your landlord!
