What to Expect During a No-Cost Energy Assessment
March 14, 2026 · Advanced Ductless Team

If you own a small business in the Boston metro area, you have probably heard about MassSave no-cost energy assessments. But what actually happens during one? Here is a step-by-step look at the process so you know exactly what to expect.
Step 1: Scheduling the Visit
One of our engineers visits your space at a time that works for your business. We understand that nail salons, restaurants, and barbershops have peak hours, so we schedule around your busiest times. The assessment typically takes 45 minutes to an hour depending on the size of your building.
Step 2: Evaluating Your Current System
We look at your current heating and cooling equipment, insulation levels, windows, and overall building envelope. Whether you are running window AC units, baseboard heaters, or an aging central system, we document everything and identify where energy is being wasted.
Step 3: Reviewing Your Energy Bills
Next, we review your recent energy bills to understand your current usage patterns and costs. This helps us calculate how much you could save by switching to a high-efficiency heat pump or ductless mini-split system. Most small businesses we work with are spending far more than they need to.
Step 4: Your Personalized Plan
Based on the assessment, we provide a detailed report that includes your current energy costs, estimated savings with a new system, which MassSave rebates you qualify for (often up to $10,000), available 0% financing options, and a recommended system design for your specific space.
No Obligation, No Pressure
The entire assessment is genuinely no-cost with no obligation. We never pressure you to move forward. Many business owners in Cambridge, Quincy, Brookline, and across the Boston metro are surprised by how much they can save and how little they would pay out of pocket after MassSave rebates are applied.

Don’t wait until your system breaks down in the middle of summer
Lost revenue from a broken AC in peak season can cost more than a full replacement — especially with MassSave rebates covering most of the cost. Find out what you qualify for today.
