The NOVA Method

Our 3-Phase Approach to
Energy Independence

Most homeowners skip steps — and leave thousands on the table. Our structured three-phase program ensures you get maximum rebates, the right system size, and the highest long-term savings.

1Efficiency First
2Modernize Heating & Cooling
3Generate Your Own Power

Each phase builds on the last — done in order, they compound your savings.

Phase 1

Efficiency First

Start Here — No Cost to You

Every energy journey begins with a no-cost Mass Save® Home Energy Assessment. A certified Energy Specialist evaluates your insulation, air sealing, heating systems, and more — then identifies every rebate and upgrade available to you. This is the essential first step before any HVAC or solar work.

  • No-cost Home Energy Assessment
  • Identify air sealing & insulation opportunities
  • Uncover all available Mass Save® rebates
  • Properly size future HVAC and solar systems
Phase 2

Modernize Heating & Cooling

Maximize Efficiency Before Solar

After your assessment, we help you upgrade to a high-efficiency heat pump system using your Mass Save® rebates — up to $8,500 back. Installing HVAC first ensures your solar system is sized correctly for your new, lower energy load, maximizing your savings and system performance.

  • Up to $8,500 in rebates for qualifying air source heat pump installations
  • 0% financing through the HEAT Loan Program — up to $25,000
  • Save $1,500–$2,500+ per year switching from oil to a heat pump
  • Essential prep step for right-sizing solar
Phase 3

Generate Your Own Power

The Payoff — Energy Independence

With your home properly insulated and your HVAC upgraded, we design and install a solar system sized precisely for your new energy profile. Your system will produce more energy relative to your consumption, deliver higher offsets, and earn more through Massachusetts SMART incentives.

  • System sized for your post-HVAC energy load
  • Higher offset percentages (often 120–140%)
  • 30% federal tax credit + MA SMART incentives
  • Connected Solutions battery income program
