From no-cost energy assessments to substantial rebates and zero-interest financing, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know to take advantage of the program.
Why Energy Efficiency Matters for Cape Cod
Cape Cod is a region with its own unique energy needs. With its mix of historic homes, coastal climate, and seasonal population surges, maintaining energy-efficient properties can be a challenge. Here’s why energy efficiency is crucial for Cape Cod residents:
- Preserve Historic Charm: Many older homes have poor insulation and outdated heating systems, leading to high energy bills.
- Coastal Weather Impact: Strong winds and fluctuating temperatures require reliable and efficient HVAC systems.
- Environmental Stewardship: As a coastal community, reducing energy consumption helps mitigate environmental impacts on fragile ecosystems.
