“This was a project that demanded an affordable and energy efficient solution for over 700 units,” said Colin Heneghan, Action Energy. “When all of the parties come together to work toward one goal, that’s how you get to where we are today with this successful project kick off. We are happy to be working with the Quincy Housing Authority to reduce their energy consumption — saving money and Kilowatts, reducing carbon footprint, and increasing the comfort and durability of the buildings for their residents.”

“This project came to fruition after six months of hard work thanks to Action Energy, the Quincy Housing Authority, and Haier, our partner since 2013,” said Tim Eaton, AP Heating Sales, Emerson Swan. “Teamwork makes projects like this happen.”

The mission of the Quincy Housing Authority is to promote, develop, and maintain affordable rent and homeownership housing opportunities that are well designed, consistent with market standards, cost effective to manage, and encourage freedom of choice. By providing an efficient environment of choice, strengthened by essential support services, the Authority seeks to assist eligible households and individuals of low and moderate income in achieving household stability and economic self-sufficiency.

Action's mission is to improve the lives of disadvantaged individuals and families on Cape Ann and beyond by minimizing the effects of poverty, promoting economic security, and advocating for social change. Action is the lead vendor for National Grid in the Low-Income Energy Affordability Network, administering both the low-income single family and multi-family programs across the Commonwealth. Action works closely with many other Community Action Programs and subcontractors to deliver energy conservation measures for National Grid's ratepayers.
