Garrett went into a long, narrow, creepy crawl space that a February 2026 homeowner wrote they would never have had the guts to peek inside — and that homeowner came away saying they learned a lot from his assessment. That is the trade here: Green Energy Gains does the no-cost Mass Save home energy assessment, then performs the air sealing, insulation and weatherization the assessment turns up. The Danvers company works in partnership with the sponsors of the Mass Save program, and its site describes the business as locally owned and operated, with Greg K. as owner. Garrett Hodgson's name is on most of the written accounts. Greg Kendall handled a February 2024 assessment, and that customer wrote about the thoroughness and the detail of the follow-up report; a March 2023 reviewer had Greg's help across multiple properties. What customers describe coming away with is a plan they understand. In a July 2026 review, a homeowner said Garrett explained the options for both the short and the long term and sent a summary afterward with the information they needed. A February 2023 customer said the report was issued quickly and laid out the next steps and the expected timing. In an October 2023 review, a homeowner credited Garrett Hodgson with organizing the many steps to reach the point where Mass Save pays 75% of insulation costs. Nobody describes being sold to. A May 2024 customer who had their condo assessed said the suggestions came with no push at all, and on r/SalemMA in June 2024 a poster wrote that Garrett was informative but not salesy — the first time they had been moved to write a review for a business. The work follows the audits. A February 2023 customer had the attic and basement insulated and called the house buttoned up tight. Another February 2023 reviewer said the crew set out what to expect and a timeline at the start of the project. A July 2025 customer said the finished work made a big difference to their utility bills. One thing to plan for: in an October 2023 review, a homeowner wrote that they acted as general contractor themselves, for lack of someone available locally on their timeline. So when the assessment hands you a scope, ask who does each piece of the work and when they can start. If you want the Mass Save audit done carefully and the insulation and air sealing that follows handled by the same outfit, this is a sound call — the BBB grade is an A. Ask for the written report and the schedule before you commit to the scope.

“I called [Green Energy Gains](https://maps.app.goo.gl/cTppw7XvhCnAzPm98?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy) and Garrett from their team came out and was excellent. Informative, but not salesy. One of the first times I was ever motivated to write a review for a business.”
Garrett did a home energy assessment for us and was extremely helpful! He took the time to evaluate our home thoroughly and explained different options we had to make improvements in both the short and long term. He shared a summary afterwards with all of the info we needed. Super helpful and would definitely recommend!
Garrett recently did our Mass Save energy audit and was extremely thorough and helpful. He enthusiastically examined a very long, narrow, and creepy crawl space that I would probably never have had the guts to even peek inside. I learned a lot from his assessment, and now we are ready to transition our home to clean energy!
They did a great job. Very professional and worked efficiently. They work was done very well and has made a big difference with my utility bills.
Amazing service, ideas and responsiveness from Garrett Hodgson... We were without AC for a week plus in a heatwave, been trying to make a decision as to which way to go. We understood there were rebates out there though MA Save, yet most independent HVAC companies did not want to touch them as they were a lot of work to process and get reimbursement. We met with one HVAC company that took valuable time to explain the differences of the heat pump system and although it was a whole lot more than we anticipated spending, this system also provided us a back-up heat source and our sales rep. took on the responsibility of explaining AND processing the necessary paperwork to get the rebate. Part of the process was filling out an online form to set up a site visit for approval to receive the $2500 rebate and be eligible for the $2000 tax credit. We did the application 2X, thinking it would be a week out based on the website and got an error messages. Our sales rep. gave us Garrett Hodgson's from Green Energy Gains email address to contact and within 5 minutes Garrett replied! We were able to work out an appointment for the following day (instead of a week), which provided us time to make our decision, and book the installation for the following week! We felt so fortunate! Garrett arrived promptly at his appointment time, thoroughly explained his process and immediately confirmed we were eligible fot the rebate and also shared what he would do to try to save us additional $ based on the energy efficiency of our home. He went through our home and was very helpful, certainly was not a salesperson...simply someone who knew what he was doing and believed in what he did. He was with us for about an hour, provided an excellent education and honest analysis of our home and where we may (or may not want to) make energy improvements that were cost effective and cautioned us on the ones that were not. while he was with us, he spent a few extra minutes to send us the needed forms for financing to expedite the process should we want to go that route and later that evening we received his full assessment, recommendations, pricing and follow-up instructions should we want to do any additional work that Garrett explained. Thank you for employing such a fine young professional as Garrett, we were really impressed with Garrett, the process and we hope we are equally as pleased with our new system!
Garrett from Green Energy Gains came by to do an energy assessment on our home, and was very helpful. He did a thorough review of our condo and gave us a number of suggestions but was not at all pushy or salesy, which I appreciated. I strongly recommend you give them a call if you’re considering making your home more energy efficient.
