  • replace your heating system
  • replace old electrical wiring (like knob and tube), and
  • remove asbestos.

These different projects that save energy (and money!) are available to everyone who pays an electricity bill — renters or landlords. We will tell you about these different options in more detail, and answer all your questions so you can do one or more of these home improvement projects in your own home. These different options are made available to Boston residents through the Mass Save program. Learn more about the Mass Save program.
