One of the big perks of the MassSave program is an energy audit - they come through and do infrared scans of the walls and ceilings to see where you need insulation. Did they do that?

If you need insulation you just need insulation. Blow it in the walls, staple a blanket to your ceiling, whatever. (Don’t actually do that.) most of the insulation is covered or cheaper through masssave. Did they say that they can’t do anything for you?

I’m just confused about the available options and what you’ve done so far.

If you just need more heat, you can get a window unit heat pump. That’ll do AC and heat, and be pretty efficient to boot.

last year there were two apps and it was confusing and screwy so don't wait until the last minute to download! Also, the app historically only tells you when the runner has passed a handful of notable spots (5k, 10k, half, etc), so know what mile marker YOU are at, so when it says your runner is at mile 13 you know what that means for timing.

It means we get less for our tax dollars is what it means. But given the conversations I've had on reddit the past couple of weeks, Boston residents would be fucking psyched to pay more in taxes cuz greater good n' shit.

This also means MA is more economically attractive, meaning prices are only going to increase, and our experience with inflation locally will be greater than what the rest of the country experiences.

TLDR: It's about to become even more expensive to live around here.
