HeatSmart Newton
An efficient, clean, environmentally-friendly solution for heating, cooling and hot water for your home!
HeatSmart Newton is a community-based, volunteer-led, clean heating and cooling initiative to help residents improve home comfort, lower their energy bills, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sponsored by the City of Newton, the HeatSmart program works with our partner installers, Muirfield Mechancial and New England Ductless, to help Newton residents make the switch from fossil fuels to air-source heat pumps and heat pump water heaters.
HeatSmart Newton is part of the HeatSmart Mass Program supported by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources. Together, it's our goal to make it easier for Newton residents to find a competent installer, conserve energy, and be more comfortable year-round while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

About Heatsmart Newton
WHAT IS A HEAT PUMP?
Heat pumps move heat in and out of a building—much like an air conditioner that can also run backwards to provide heating. Cold climate heat pumps offered through HeatSmart Newton can provide high-efficiency heating and hot water even when it's well below zero outside.
Heat pumps can be affordable alternatives to fossil fuel-based heating and hot water, while also providing cooling to improve home comfort. At 2-4 times as efficient as electric space and water heaters, heat pumps can save you thousands of kWh, and hundreds of dollars, every year. All of these benefits are achieved while greatly reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
WHAT CAN I DO TO GET READY FOR HEATSMART?
Get a no-cost Mass Save® Home Energy Assessment!
A home energy assessment can help you learn more about how your home uses (and loses) energy and can identify home energy upgrades that can improve home comfort, save money, reduce your home's energy use, and improve the performance of a heat pump if you choose to install one.
