1st Steps to Installing a Heat Pump

Action: 2589 - Insulate and Air Seal Your Home

Early in 2023 we attended a meeting at the General Store about heat pumps. We decided to follow through with the help of MassSave and a Harvard energy coach from the Energize Initiative. But first, we needed to do a free energy audit which determined that we needed to add "a lot" of additional insulation in our attic. Rogers Insulation also did quite a bit of air sealing, insulated the door between the attic and the house and put insulation strips around our front door and the door between the garage and the house. We wanted to keep some flooring in the attic for storage and Rogers was very accomodating with making that happen. Most of the cost of the insulation was covered by MassSave. We were very happy with Rogers Insulation and highly recommend them.

P.S. We had nearly 40 years of stuff in our large attic - this project was just the thing we needed to motivate us to get rid of most of it!
