Is Billerica in Mass Save?

Yes. Billerica gets its electricity from National Grid, not from a municipal light plant, so homes in Billerica are in the Mass Save program. Its natural gas comes from National Grid (the state's list), also a Mass Save sponsor.

Billerica is not on the state's list of municipal light plants. Mass Save is not statewide: 41 light plants serve all or part of 50 municipalities, and homes on their electric service are outside its electric program (Mass Save in municipal light plant towns).

Rebates and financing for a new roof in Billerica

Mass Save doesn't pay for the roof itself: its insulation and windows offers cover insulation, air sealing and windows, and roofing is not on the HEAT Loan's list of eligible measures.

The insulation can be covered: after a Home Energy Assessment, Mass Save pays 75 to 100 percent of approved insulation and air sealing in Billerica. Attics are part of it, so book the assessment before the roof work starts.

Do you need a permit for a new roof in Billerica?

Yes. Re-roofing is not exempt under the Massachusetts building code, so Billerica expects a building permit, usually pulled by the contractor. 63% of Billerica's homes were built before 1980 (Census ACS 2018-2022), and work that disturbs paint in a home built before 1978 has to follow the lead-safe renovation rules.
