HomeWorks Energy is a Massachusetts home-performance company with a Stoughton listing and Charlestown BBB address. Its website says it provides Mass Save home-energy assessments, insulation and air sealing, heating and cooling, ductless systems, and HVAC repair and maintenance; it reports roots in 2008 and Max Veggeberg taking leadership in 2013. The record is mixed. Several 2025 and 2026 Google reviews praise careful insulation, clean and efficient crews, communication, and professional work. Other reviews report unfinished or defective insulation and HVAC work, poor communication, cold homes after insulation, and high costs. Recent Reddit accounts repeat concerns about incomplete work, messy installation, unqualified technicians, and difficulty reaching the company. Before booking, get the scope, equipment, rebate assumptions, follow-up obligations, and all costs in writing. Confirm who will inspect completed insulation or HVAC work and how defects are corrected. The company lists Mass Save partnership, BPI-certified experts, and several licenses; verify license scope and current status directly. HomeWorks may fit homeowners seeking Mass Save assessments or efficiency upgrades who are willing to document the work and confirm quality-control and escalation procedures before authorizing installation.
“HomeWorks fucked up a bunch of my house and left the project unfinished.”
“They send guys out who are nearly braindead, use rented box trucks that they leave running for the entire duration of the job, and make a huge mess.”
“Homeworks Energy is a mess of a company, don’t use them for MassSave projects.”
“i had a pretty good experience with Homeworks to quote me for a heatpump for my house in medford.”
“the Homeworks Energy techs have seemed a bit mystified by the boiler each time they’ve come out to troubleshoot”
“During its Sept. 5 meeting (see Wellesley Media recording), Wellesley Sustainability Director Marybeth Martello gave an update on the town’s partnership with Mass Save-affilate HomeWorks, which has been canvassing homes to encourage owners to agree to free energy audits. About 88% of homes using natural gas have been visited, and HomeWorks has reached others via mailings as well information tables at events and the Recycling & Disposal Facility. About 700 people signed up for assessments, and more than half of those had been completed by early September, Martello said. More than 130 weatheriza”

I would advise anyone to AVOID Homeworks Energy at all costs. They do inferior work, have unqualified technicians and do an awful job communicating to get problems resolved. They installed a heat pump, hot water heater, and insulated our home. Here is a list of the things done wrong. Day 1 installed condensation tube wrong and wrong pump. They said it would be fine so we ran the system…….flooded basement Forgot to install a 600$ add on part and only came back when I called them out on it. Installed the wrong thermostat causing the unit to run 24/7 leading to almost 1200$ in electric bills over two months. They did compensate me for some of this after I complained for 3 months and presented them with my electric bills. Patched 30 holes in my walls incorrectly and left a styrofoam plug sticking out of every one. They had to come back and redo the whole project filling my house with dust and mess a second time. When the technician didn’t get the number he wanted on the insulation blower test started closing interior doors to falsify the number so he could move on to the next job. Homeworks employees broke a part of the heat pump TWICE leaving us with no AC in the middle of summer for 4 weeks and another flooded basement. No compensation and no apology. I pay them monthly for a service contract. Failed to repair a broken pump…….flooded basement again which is now moldy. The employees are nice but if you actually want anything done correctly I would look elsewhere.
Rafael and his team were professional, worked consistently and thoroughly on insulating my house with extra care. They even found discounts where they could. Highly recommended.
