SELCO & West Boylston Municipal Light Plant recently hosted an informative community forum on heat pumps, offering Shrewsbury & West Boylston residents an opportunity to learn about the advantages of heat pumps for energy efficiency, sustainability, and year-round home comfort. Attendees gathered to explore the technology’s benefits and receive guidance on installation and incentives.
A full video of the event, including the Q&A session, is now available on Shrewsbury Media Connection at https://youtu.be/AdWlaMGvx1I?si=jvfZlH73kvRh_oYt .
Why Heat Pumps?
Heat pumps are a versatile, energy-efficient technology, providing heating and cooling with a smaller carbon footprint. Unlike traditional systems, heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, which results in reduced energy use and lower utility bills. Heat pumps represent a key step in transitioning to a cleaner, more resilient energy system.
Incentives and Financing
Federal tax incentives are available for all customers. SELCO customers can take advantage of a free heat pump assessment and SELCO’s 0% interest loan on heat pump installations. Additionally, Eversource customers are eligible for extra incentives. Residents can find further information on available SELCO rebates through NextZero by visiting NextZero.org/SELCO.
