This has got to be one of the best-kept secrets in town!

You can make a FREE appointment with an Abode Energy Management consultant who will talk to you about your house and situation before you invest: Click here to get started!

These folks are great! They will look at your weatherization, heat pump, or solar estimates and make sure you’re getting the best system for your house. They’ll also talk to you about weatherization you can do yourself or hire a handyperson to do. They’re independent, not connected to any contractors, and offered by Middleborough Gas & Electric as part of what you already pay on your local utility bill. People in other towns can pay $100 or more for this service.

How do I know if I have insulation, or if I have enough?

  • Was your house built before 1960?
  • Does the temperature vary from room to room?
  • Are your power bills extremely high in heating or cooling seasons?
  • Do you get icicles hanging from your roof?
  • Do you feel drafts, e.g. around doors, windows, or the dryer vent?

If you answer yes to any of these, you may need more weatherization. Get a free audit and find out! Sign up below.

“I met with Mike and Christopher at Abode about both insulation and heat pumps. The estimates I got were all over the place and very confusing. The auditor said my 100-year-old farmhouse probably needed complete insulation because of its age. One contractor said I didn’t need any. Another was ready to charge me thousands. The Abode consultants helped me sort it out so I could pick contractors that I trusted and were a good value.”
