Unitil Service Area in Massachusetts

Unitil provides both electric and natural gas service to communities in north-central Massachusetts, primarily in the Fitchburg area. As one of Massachusetts' smaller utilities, Unitil offers personalized service while still providing full access to Mass Save rebate programs.

The Fitchburg area features a mix of older New England homes and newer construction. Many homes in this region still rely on oil or propane heating, making heat pump conversions particularly valuable - both for energy savings and for accessing the highest rebate amounts.
