Who is making sure our “public’’ utilities are really improving our energy conservation? (“Utilities support energy savings,’’ Oct. 8).
MassSave has not improved energy conservation. Their “energy audits’’ are far from effective and they are not sharing any real data to support it. I know.
They audited my home and said it was already as good as it could be, gave me a little weather stripping, a couple of light bulbs, and patted me on the back for doing a “great job!’’
Then I sought out a home performance assessment by a private firm with highly trained professionals that does not sell energy. I am seeing far greater savings and a plan for saving me even more.
MassSave is another example of how the utilities are “saving us.’’ Where is the evidence that their weatherization works?
