1. Upgrade your heating & cooling systems  

Heat pumps keep homes comfortable year-round, and are more efficient than traditional systems. Through our Clean Comfort program, you can receive help to both learn more about heat pumps and figure out if they are a fit for your home. Sizing and design support is provided to residents to ensure that the installed systems deliver the savings and comfort expected, as well as improve your home’s overall carbon impact. BELD offers rebates for residents to install air source heat pumps, including ductless mini splits.

2. Switch to an electric vehicle 

While EVs typically have a higher retail price compared to traditional gas-powered vehicles, they’re much cheaper to fuel due to the affordable electricity rates offered by BELD – and you may qualify for tax incentives that substantially reduce those upfront costs. When you pair your EV with a solar panel system and a home EV charger, you can power your car with free, clean energy. Ask our EV Advisors at BraintreeDrivesElectric.com

3. Reduce your electricity bill with home solar 

With solar, you can save on electricity over the life of your system while eliminating 3-4 tons of carbon emissions each year. BELD has partnered with EnergySage, the nation’s leading solar marketplace, to help Braintree residents go solar with confidence.

4. Make energy-efficient decisions  

No energy-efficient upgrade is “too small” to impact our environment and your electricity bill. You can save simply by using LED lights or installing a smart thermostat and earn cash back when siging up with our SmartSavings program.
