Everything has to start somewhere.

You don’t have to do it all at once. Start with one switch, and build from there.

One change can be the start of a more efficient, comfortable, and cleaner-energy home.🏡💚

What would you electrify first? Tell us in the comments!

(If it's battery-powered lawn equipment, there are Mass Save rebates up to $75 available when you make the switch!)

DID YOU KNOW? 🌡️

Heat pumps need surprisingly little maintenance to keep running efficiently.

Simple seasonal checklist:

✓ Keep outdoor units clear of leaves, snow & debris

✓ Check and replace/clean filters regularly

✓ Keep vents and indoor units unobstructed

✓ Schedule professional service as recommended

That’s it! It's not much different to looking after other appliances around the home.

Save this checklist for your next seasonal home maintenance day! 🏡

As we move into a new season, we’re reflecting on the changes happening in our communities and looking ahead to what we can build together.

Here’s to new energy, new beginnings, and continued climate action. Happy Equinox!

Think EV charging means sitting around for hours? ⚡️🔋

Not quite. Most charging happens while you’re already parked, at home, at work, while shopping, or overnight.

You don’t wait around for your car to charge. You plug in, go about your day, and come back ready to go. 🚗⚡️
