HeatSmart Update
February 9
Did you miss the Melrose HeatSMART team on our How to Use your Heat Pump Efficiently (and Save Money!) webinar? Don't worry, you can find a link to the recorded presentation here!
Cheaper, cleaner alternatives to heating and cooling your home are here!
A group of local volunteers has teamed up with the City of Melrose, the Mass Clean Energy Center and Mass Department of Energy Resources to bring you HeatSmart Melrose, a community-led effort promoting three clean heating and cooling technologies that can help our residents save money, conserve energy and be more comfortable year-round, while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These technologies and our competitively-selected installers include:
- Air Source Heat Pumps (ductless mini-splits and ducted systems), provided by New England Ductless
- Ground Source Heat Pumps (geothermal heating and cooling), provided by Achieve Renewable Energy
- Solar Hot Water, provided by New England Solar Hot water
If you’re interested in participating in the program, sign up below to get a no-cost site visit from one of our installer partners! Questions? Contact the HeatSmart Coach, Susan Murphy, at .

What is clean heating and cooling?
Clean heating and cooling technologies use cleaner, renewable resources to provide both heating and cooling to your home or business from one installed system. Clean heating and cooling technologies can be lower-cost alternatives to fossil fuel-based heating while also offering additional home comfort benefits and reducing your carbon footprint.
Learn more about clean heating and cooling at our Clean Heating and Cooling 101 information hub.
