Mass Save in SavoyEligible

Savoy is served by Eversource, so homeowners are eligible for Mass Save. The program opens with a no-cost Home Energy Assessment that scopes the house and flags knob-and-tube wiring or pre-1981 vermiculite needing attention first. Mass Save then covers 75-100% of approved insulation and air-sealing costs, with 100% for income-eligible households, plus a 0% HEAT Loan up to $25,000 for the remaining share.

Insulation in Savoy — what to know

Permits in Savoy

Insulation in Savoy rarely requires a building permit, but the contractor should hold a Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) registration, and a Construction Supervisor License (CSL) covers structural work. Mass Save incentives require a participating or approved installer. Spray foam must meet Massachusetts fire and ignition-barrier code, generally with a thermal barrier. In pre-1981 homes, vermiculite attic insulation should be tested for asbestos before work, and active knob-and-tube wiring must be remediated or de-energized before walls are dense-packed.

Where a permit is required, insulation work in Savoy is filed with the Savoy Building Department; see the Savoy Building Department’s contact, portal and who pulls the permit on permits.llc.

Typical project cost

Berkshire hilltown pricing runs near statewide ranges, with a travel premium given Savoy's elevation and distance from contractor hubs. As of recent cycles, attic insulation typically runs $1,500-$4,000, dense-pack wall insulation $2,000-$6,000, and air sealing $300-$1,500, with spray foam higher. Because Savoy is a Mass Save town, the 75-100% incentive can push out-of-pocket cost toward zero after an approved assessment, unlike a municipal-utility community.

About Savoy homes

Savoy is a forested Berkshire County hilltown of about 620 residents and roughly 376 housing units, with a median construction age near 48 years. The town sits high near Savoy Mountain State Forest, with scattered homes along rural roads.

The housing mix runs from older center and farmhouse-era homes to mid-century and later rural builds. The oldest bring balloon-framed walls and occasional knob-and-tube; newer homes are more about attic top-up and rim-joist sealing. With a cold, snowy hilltown climate and no gas mains, most Savoy homes heat with oil, propane, or wood, so a tight, well-insulated envelope makes a clear difference each winter.

Common questions — Insulation in Savoy

Does Mass Save pay for insulation in Savoy?
Yes. Savoy is served by an investor-owned utility, so after a no-cost Mass Save Home Energy Assessment the program covers 75 to 100 percent of approved insulation and air sealing (no cost for income-eligible households) and finances the rest through the 0 percent HEAT Loan.
I heat with propane and wood. Is insulation worth it here?
Yes. In a cold Savoy home without gas service, air sealing plus wall and attic insulation cut the fuel you burn all winter, which is where the savings show up with delivered propane or cordwood.
Should I check my old attic for asbestos before insulating?
If your Savoy home predates 1981, the loose-fill attic insulation may be vermiculite containing asbestos and should be tested first. Removal is handled by a licensed abatement contractor.
Do I need a permit to insulate in Savoy?
No separate building permit is usually required for insulation, though your contractor should carry HIC registration. Spray foam must meet fire-code covering requirements.
