It was interesting to hear their recommendations for heating, cooling and dehumidifying her Falmouth home. The vendor recommended 8 small mini-split units and 2 outside pump units. Because it’s necessary for the domestic hot water, the oil burner can remain though can only be used for heat in emergencies. To qualify for the $10,000 whole home rebate the installer has to use equipment on the rebate approved list, and you also need to have had a Home Energy Assessment within 2 years, and carried out whatever energy saving measures they recommend.\u00a0 The estimate was about $30,000, so final cost after rebate will be $20,000.\u00a0 There are 0% interest HEAT Loans available to help with the costs.<\/p>\n\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Share the heat pump cost estimate (LM-done)<\/p>\n \u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Schedule a heat pump Lunch n Learn?

The term “household” in the application requirements is more like the IRS definition than actual residents of a dwelling. Any individual would need to submit income verification with the application (FYI – there are only about 80 remaining grant applications available through this round of grant funding, and they are going quickly). One of the most important parts of the grant is that the applicant be a resident of Cape Cod or Martha’s Vineyard… We need to avoid the potential for someone to take advantage of the incentive and then move months later, eliminating the benefits claimed by the E Bike initiative.

\nWeatherization: National Grid and Cape Light Compact each have weatherization programs approved by the Department of Public Utilities that offer 100% for residentially metered rental properties (Mary can provide better guidance if the sites have commercial gas rates).
