Next Step Living® Starts Energy Action Month with Launch of HomeEnergy.Tips to Spur Energy Efficiency, Adoption of Renewable Energy


BOSTON --(Business Wire)--

Next Step Living®, New England's leading provider of home energy solutions, marks the start of Energy Action Month today with the debut of HomeEnergy.Tips. Each day this month, the new site will feature a tip from one of the company's more than 100 home energy advisors in order to help homeowners become more energy-efficient.

"We have one of the largest and most knowledgeable teams of building-science experts in the country who help thousands of homeowners each month," said Dave Boettcher, director of operations for Next Step Living. "Now, in addition to offering in-home advice during home energy evaluations, our advisors are sharing their expertise online."

Homeowners interested in useful advice designed to help them save money and live more comfortably and sustainably can visit HomeEnegy.Tips or subscribe to Dot-Tips, a monthly email update of tips posted to the site.



"The depth and breadth of tips from our energy advisors is impressive, ranging from how to avoid ice-cold showers to identifying and eliminating phantom loads that waste energy," added Boettcher.

Named for the second year in a row to the Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States, Next Step Living provides home energy evaluations and energy-efficiency upgrades such as weatherization, heating-and-cooling solutions like ductless mini splits and windows. The company also offers rooftop solar power systems and community solar.


With almost 850 employees, Next Step Living serves households in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and southern New Hampshire and has helped approximately 85,000 households become more energy-efficient and adopt renewable energy, thereby preventing carbon emissions. The estimated impact of that work is an annual carbon dioxide reduction of more than 75,000 metric tons. That's equivalent to taking about 16,000 fossil fuel-burning cars off New England's roadways.
