You’re #3 recommending Plymouth! I see where this trend is going… definitely aiming for a nice cute spot for coffee and plants! Trying to merge some of my personal loves

Thanks! I’ll keep this page updated for sure

Yeah I think you may want to get an insulation quote even without the mass save discount since it is costing you thousands per winter to heat your house.

Hello! Sorry! I did not mention which city or town for privacy reasons. my Reddit name is too specific to what I do. I am reading the information in the link that you shared above. It looks the same as what National Grid gave me right now. I will be sure to keep doing more research tough. Perhaps I am missing some useful information. Thank you for sharing.

Pretty shot!

Right, kiskadee gets old too, thanks for the rec!

Thought about Plymouth, there’s a building for lease on court st too! But I’d be competing with a lot of other spots

u/Linux-Is-Best thank you for this information. I think I should drop the solar option as it has too many complications. Great input though!

u/ipalush89 thank you for your input. Pellets stove were suggested to me as an option as well. I have to mention that the lower level of the house has a fireplace that I never used.

When I was discussing about the pellet stove with other relatives, it was suggested as a good option because the lower level of the house is an open place which will facilitate the distribution of heat at that level.

I am guessing they've not been notifying people, eh? That sucks. A lot of unfortunate people are going to wake up to a surprise.

That all said, if I were you, I'd start the process now. Don't wrongfully assume you'll be turned away. I was reading they revised the income requirements for a lot of state programs, reflecting the cost of living and inflation. That means, people who may have been turned away previously, may qualify now. -- The worse they can do is say, no, right? So if I was you, I'd update, and hope for the best.

You should start with insulation and air sealing, which is going to have a much higher ROI than changing your heating type. I would also suggest Googling the “energy efficiency pyramid” for other low hanging fruit on reducing your electricity consumption that should be pursued first.

Ha... the Fuckers shut off my power right before the storm the other day. Owed 1800. Last payment in Oct...oops. but found out that my rate more than doubled through the 3rd party we work with. If we were billed through national grid directly, it would have tripled what we were paying. What the fuck happened to 60%?

Do you just have electric or natural gas also? $1000 electric bill is extremely high. Is the heat pump using the electric heat strips to heat? If so that uses ALOT of energy and could be part of the reason. Also look into getting a different energy supplier. You can lock in a rate at like .17-.20 cents instead of national grids like .35 cent Kwh cost

Could use one in Quincy, Wollaston or north Quincy area would be nice. They are building like mad from Quincy center to N.Quincy t stops. Most of this is high end apts/condos. Def room to grow in the coming years.

march is last month

Hudson has a lot going for it. The downtown has some really great places to eat and drink that are as good, if not better than Boston, Cambridge & Somerville. 495 is easy to access from multiple routes. The Assabet River Trail is a nice place to take an easy walk.

Another plus about Hudson is its municipal electric company, Hudson Light & Power. The rates it charges customers are significantly less than the large regional electric providers like Eversource. The only drawback to having its own power company is that it’s not part of the big MassSave pool of subsidized home heating and weatherization plans. HL&P’s rebates and incentives are pretty paltry in comparison to MassSave.

I’d stay closer to Providence. Southeastern Mass including Swansea is seriously blue collar and has no interest in anything beyond Dunkin.

Cripes, looks like it ends in April. :(

There’s few places in Plymouth to sit and do work while having coffee

Throwing in Plymouth for a recommendation!

Light pollution is a very real problem. It fucks with a lot of animals' nocturnal/diurnal rhythm.

They have a notice on their website that states the following:

> Update your information now so you don’t miss important notices from MassHealth. Soon, all MassHealth members will need to renew their coverage. > Updated Jan. 20, 2023, 02:00 pm

They even have a friendly YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CUsnF6qjsI

The running theme is that you UPDATE now. Even if you have no changes, you should verify everything and impute your information. Please do not assume you do not qualify, and update your information anyway.

We have a cannabis grow facility near me that looks like this at night.

I’d love one in my town but honestly it’s a Dunkin’s and Walmart kinda crowd, not a cute trendy coffee shop.

Maybe Sharon? Canton? Randolph? Plymouth?

Look on Zillow and find the towns where the homes are avg 700k+, avoid towns where the avg is closer to 450k-. You want people with disposable incomes.

Good luck!

Seal windows find a mass save contractor to go through the house and see what they recommend and imo pellet stoves are the easiest and cheapest way to tackle our weather it only really cold for 2-3 months and the stove takes the edge off it still costs money to run but has lowered our bills for heating overall heat pump suck once it get sub 30-20 I’ve installed a few for people…I would go gas but none on the street so oil for me as well a new boiler if you have an old one could have a good rebate through mass save

We are not alone
