Drive Electric

Buy or Lease an Electric Vehicle

Insulate & Weatherize to the Max

Most Acton houses have some insulation, but they need more to really save energy and get ready to install a really efficient, electric heating system.

Heat & Cool: Heat Pumps

Switch to Clean Heating & Cooling with a Heat Pump

Install Solar

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels generate renewable electricity. As of early 2021 over 470 homeowners in Acton had installed rooftop PV systems averaging about 8 kW. Panel prices have dramatically decreased over the past few years and financial incentives have remained high--a combination that makes solar an excellent investment for many roofs.

Save with Incentives

Going Electric Means Savings!

Renters: Save $$

Are you a renter? Would you like to save a few dollars on your electricity bill? Are you willing to spend just a few minutes to get there?

Eat More Plant-Based Meals

We all share one thing that can have a significant impact on climate change: the food we eat. Making changes to your eating habits can be done at your own pace and with little financial investment—but have a big climate impact.

Switch to Induction Cooking

You can switch your cooking from gas to electricity with new induction ranges and other electric appliances, and then you can zero out air pollution from gas cooking if you opt up to APC Green electricity.

Garden Ecologically

It's always a great time to think about our gardens and yards. Think about developing a more resilient landscape in your own backyard. In the process you can encourage healthier soil that stores carbon and helps our climate.
