Residential Energy Efficiency Programs

Berkshire Gas offers innovative solutions through Mass Save to make our natural gas heating customers' homes more energy efficient.

In light of the COVID-19 outbreak and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and the State of Massachusetts, we are temporarily suspending energy efficiency program activities that require an in-person visit to your home or business. This temporary pause in on-premise program activity is effective through April 6. For questions regarding this program suspension, please call 800.944.3212. As updates occur, they will be posted here and on our COVID-19 and Our Response  page. You can also visit Mass Save for additional information.

Thank you for your interest in our programs. We look forward to resuming programs as soon as safely possible.

If you heat your home with natural gas, we'll help pay for the installation of approved energy-saving measures that will increase your home's efficiency and save you money. Get started today by calling 800.944.3212 to schedule a no cost Home Energy Assessment.
