We can help your business or non-profit organization become more energy efficient. Working with energy efficiency professionals, you can replace inefficient lighting and identify other ways to save on utilities. Many energy upgrades create savings that pay for themselves within just a few years.

Sign up for an energy assessment to qualify for a variety of incentives and receive expert advice on energy programs, services, and products available to Cambridge businesses and non-profits, including financing options, contracting services, and other support services. Questions? Contact our Energy Advisor at any point during the process.

Non-Profits

Non-profits do important work for the community, and if they can reduce their energy costs they can direct more resources to carrying out their programs. Though many of the efficiency programs for non-profits are similar to those for businesses, several organizations provide special financing services to non-profits. You can read more about these organizations here.

If you are affiliated with a non-profit, CEA would like to work with you. You can contact us directly by filling out this form.

Learn from a local Cambridge business on how they benefited from a CEA business audit.
