 MassCEC Expands No-Cost Service to Help More Residents Reduce Energy Costs and Modernize Their Homes

The Home Modernization Navigator expands to Chelsea, Lynn, Framingham, and Taunton, broadening access to clean energy upgrades and savings for households

BOSTON – The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) today announced the expansion of the Home Modernization Navigator pilot program, a no-cost service that helps residents improve their homes and lower their energy bills. This initiative provides personalized support for energy upgrades, electrification, and efficiency improvements. Following the success of the program’s first phase in Springfield and Lowell, the second phase will now expand to three new communities—Chelsea, Framingham, and Lynn. Additionally, the Home Modernization Navigator will expand into Taunton in January.

“The Home Modernization Navigator pilot program is helping break down barriers that keep too many families from making badly needed upgrades to their homes, saving them money,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Rebecca Tepper. “As we grow into more communities, we’re ensuring that more people can access savings and the best heating and cooling technology.”

“MassCEC is committed to helping every Massachusetts resident modernize their home in ways that are good for their wallet and their health,” said MassCEC Interim CEO Dr. Jennifer Le Blond. “The Home Modernization Navigator simplifies what can be a complex process—offering one-on-one support so residents can confidently take the next step toward efficient, electrified, and affordable homes.”

The program provides one-on-one guidance via phone, video calls, and community office hours to help residents identify their goals, access available incentives and financing, and provide technical guidance on the following:

• Appliances and Yard Equipment
• Clean Electricity
• Electrical Upgrades
• Energy Bill Savings
• Heating and Cooling
• Transportation
• Weatherization

The Home Modernization Navigator pilot program prioritizes engagement with renters, rental property owners, low-income households, and residents who speak languages other than English—addressing persistent gaps in participation in clean energy programs and ensuring equitable access to savings and comfort. This one-stop resource empowers residents to take steps toward reducing energy costs and exploring more sustainable living.
