With science indicating that weaning ourselves from fossil fuels is an imperative for the planet to remain habitable, members of Charles River Green Coalition together with Neponset Valley Progressives are holding a webinar on heat pumps on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Massachusetts is encouraging homeowners to retrofit their homes with heat pumps, offering zero-interest loans and generous incentives to motivate people to acquire them. Hear a step-by-step guide on taking advantage of the state's 0% interest loans and maximizing the rebate homeowners will receive for installing heat pumps.
Investing in heat pumps is not a straightforward proposition. Costs of installation and operation - especially operation - can be confusing and, on one's own, it's hard to get information about this relatively new technology.
The webinar will provide accurate information about heat pumps - what they do and how they work, as well as how to determine whether and when it makes economic sense to install them, and, if one does decide to go that route, how to choose a reliable contractor.

Sunny, with a high of 91 and low of 63 degrees. Sunny in the morning, partly cloudy during the afternoon and evening, clear overnight.
This needed to happen 5 years ago. But now the real wrangling begins as MPT will fight to get as much $$$ as they can from the state as possible”just compensation.”
I appreciate all of the work and time that the FS1 Steering Committee and Select Board have put into this process. I've also noticed a big difference in communication around this from the town on Facebook and Westwood Wire. This feels like a much different process than the first time around.
Combing the FS1 vote with the general election makes a ton of sense, and in fact, makes me wonder why not do this will ALL elections instead of holding town elections in April?
Just a reminder that you can e-mail the FS1 Committee at FS1Committee@westwoodma.gov with questions/feedback, etc.
Two different votes for the Project?
First one in October for 'site selection, budget, and funding sources' for a new FS1.
Then, a November vote for 'designing, constructing, equipping, and furnishing' of a new FS1.
Seems repetitive.
