Page 10 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, FEbRuARy 2, 2024 Everett resident celebrates 100th Birthday January 23, 2024 Dear Homeowner, Renter, or Property Owner, I’m pleased to announce that the City of Everett is participating in the Mass Save® Community First Partnership, sponsored locally by National Grid, to increase participation in energy-saving programs. These programs may help you lower your energy usage and make you eligible for rebates, incentives, and financing for energy efficiency upgrades in your home. The first step is to schedule a no-cost, no-obligation Home Energy Assessment. The assessment will look for energy-saving opportunities and do a safety check on your heating system and gas appliances. It will be performed by Revise Energy, a Mass Save Partner chosen by the City to provide this service to our community. Join us by calling 1-800-885-7283 or go to www.callrevise.com/everett-saves. If you have any questions or need help with any part of the process Come to Everett’s Energy Fair on February 6th, 2024 from 1-5 pm at 47 Elm St. Everett, MA We want to make sure that you’re aware of the additional support available to households of low-tomoderate income.
