To meet its emissions mandates, Massachusetts is planning to transition over 80% of its buildings to efficient electric heat pumps by 2050 and then produce that electricity with renewables.

The result will improve air quality, provide better health outcomes, and reduce our impact on our children’s climate.

However, it will require a lot of work, including retrofitting over 80% of our buildings to move to local renewable energy. These retrofits (switching out gas appliances, upgrading the electric panel, etc.) can cost over $20,000 per unit post rebates.
