Is Lakeville in Mass Save?

It depends on the address. Part of Lakeville gets its electricity from Eversource and part from the Middleborough Gas & Electric Department (the state's list names both), and Mass Save follows the company that sends the electric bill: a home on Eversource's service is in the Mass Save program, and a home on the light plant's service is outside Mass Save's electric program. A home on the light plant's service can still use Mass Save through an Eversource gas account.

To check, look at the company name on your electric bill, or ask the light plant whether it serves your street.

Lakeville is on the state's list of municipal light plants; Mass Save in municipal light plant towns has the full decision tree.

Rebates and financing for a new roof in Lakeville

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.

For a home on Eversource's electric service, the insulation can be covered: after a Home Energy Assessment, Mass Save pays 75 to 100 percent of approved insulation and air sealing in Lakeville. Attics are part of it, so book the assessment before the roof work starts.

On the light plant's service, the Mass Save insulation offer goes through an Eversource gas account; a home with no such account uses the light plant's own programs.

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

Yes. Re-roofing is not exempt under the Massachusetts building code, so Lakeville expects a building permit, usually pulled by the contractor. 46% of Lakeville'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.
