HOME ENERGY SOLUTIONS
Home Solutions Designed Around Your Home
Every house is different.
Age, construction, insulation, mechanical systems, previous renovations, and the way the home is used can all affect which improvements will provide the greatest benefit.
That's why Home Energy doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all recommendations.
For more than 45 years, we've helped Massachusetts homeowners improve their homes with solutions focused on comfort, energy efficiency, functionality, and long-term value.
Energy Efficiency & Building Performance
A home can look perfectly fine and still perform poorly.
Air leakage, insufficient insulation, inefficient systems, and other building-performance issues can contribute to drafts, inconsistent temperatures, uncomfortable rooms, and excessive energy use.
We help homeowners understand how their homes are performing and identify practical opportunities for improvement.
Depending on the home, solutions may include:
-
Insulation improvements
-
Air sealing
-
Weatherization
-
Building-envelope improvements
-
Energy-efficiency upgrades
-
Comfort improvements
The objective isn't simply to use less energy. It's to create a home that feels better and performs better.
Insulation & Air Sealing
Insulation and air sealing work together.
Insulation helps slow heat transfer, while air sealing helps reduce uncontrolled movement of air through gaps and openings in the building.
When these areas are properly addressed, homeowners may experience improved comfort, fewer drafts, more consistent indoor temperatures, and better overall energy performance.
Home Energy can evaluate the existing home and recommend improvements based on its construction and current condition.
Renovations & Home Improvements
Sometimes improving a home's performance also means improving the way the home functions.
We help homeowners update and improve existing living spaces with careful attention to both construction and energy performance.
Whether you're modernizing an older home, changing a layout, updating existing space, or making improvements for changing family needs, our goal is to create a finished result that works naturally with the rest of the house.
Home Additions
When you love your home but need more space, an addition may provide an alternative to moving.
Additional bedrooms, expanded living areas, home offices, family spaces, and other additions can give homeowners the flexibility they need while allowing them to remain in the home and community they already know.
Because additions become part of the home's overall building system, energy efficiency should be considered from the beginning—not added as an afterthought.
Energy-Efficient Accessory Dwelling Units
Accessory Dwelling Units are creating new possibilities for Massachusetts homeowners.
An ADU can provide an independent living space while remaining connected to the property and family.
They may be especially useful for:
-
Aging parents
-
Adult children
-
Multigenerational households
-
Extended family
-
Guest accommodations
-
Homeowners planning for changing needs
Home Energy approaches ADUs through both a construction and energy-efficiency perspective, helping homeowners think about comfort, insulation, air sealing, energy use, and long-term performance from the beginning of the project.

One Home. Interconnected Solutions.
The advantage of working with Home Energy is that we don't have to look at your project through only one lens.
A renovation can affect energy performance. An addition creates a new building envelope. Insulation affects heating and cooling. Air sealing can affect comfort and indoor conditions. An ADU presents an opportunity to incorporate efficiency from the very beginning.
Understanding those relationships allows us to approach the home as a whole rather than treating every project as an isolated improvement.
