My house is 118 years old with poor insulation. I left all of my faucets running moderately Friday and Saturday. I would rather pay a higher water bill than pay to fix burst pipes. I also kept the door from my kitchen to my basement open and ran a space heater (only when I could keep an eye on it) pointing down to the basement to help keep it warmer.

Time to get proactive and install insulation

Don't have the funds - we do what we can over the years

Mass Save subsides this if you qualify.

May I ask how many units your condo building is? When I looked at MassSave it says they won't do the reduced pricing stuff for residential condos with more than 4 units

Six. Weird, didn't have an issue before. Maybe they changed the rules

With 4 or more units I believe they need to work with your property manager to get the entire building looked at, not just your unit. I ran into the exact same issue but my PM is currently in the process of figuring out how this works after I gave them the contacts. Will try to update you when we hear back, if I remember. No telling how long this will take ha!

My house is from 1780, with an addition from 1910, and MassSave put in insulation and weatherstripping.
