Appliance
Management Programs (AMPS)
The Appliance Management Programs (AMPS) provide fuel
assistance eligible households with an energy audit to
determine where savings can be made. Homeowners and renters
are eligible for this program. Light bulbs, lighting fixtures
and, in some instances, new refrigerators or freezers are
offered at no cost to households with high electric use.
This program is funded by NSTAR Electric and Massachusetts
Electric Companies.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
Any fuel assistance eligible household that lives in the
NSTAR Electric or Massachusetts Electric service area,
and has not already had an AMPS audit performed. Link to
Fuel Assistance Eligibility Guidelines
HOW DO I APPLY?
Contact South Shore Community Action
Council at (508) 747-7575. We will provide your name and
telephone number to our energy auditors.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
An energy auditor will call you to set up an appointment
for an AMPS audit in your home or apartment. The energy
audit takes approximately one-and-a-half hours.
You will receive energy efficient bulbs at no cost and
your refrigerator will be metered to determine its efficiency.
Specific recommendations will be made based on your energy
usage profile to help you cut down on your electric usage.
In some situations, these recommendations may include free
replacement of an energy-inefficient refrigerator.
The auditor will provide SSCAC with this data and, if
appropriate, a refrigerator or freezer will be ordered.
