Drawing on lessons from years in the industry, Abode was created to do things differently—prioritizing people, relationships, and meaningful impact.

Headquartered in Massachusetts, the Abode team is a cornerstone of the clean energy transition in the Northeast.

Not all coaches are on the court. Some are helping their neighbors make smarter, more confident energy decisions at home.
Through the Rewiring America Electric Coach program, people across the country are learning what electrifying a home really means and how to help others take that next step. From answering a neighbor’s question to connecting someone with a trusted contractor, small conversations can lead to real change.
Our very own Frances Duncan is one of these coaches, working with residents every day to make clean energy more understandable and accessible.
Now, you can join her.

A year ago, this was just an idea. Now? 13,000 Massachusetts homeowners have used the Energy Savings Finder to start figuring out what’s possible in their homes.
At Northeast Sustainable Energy Association`s BuildingEnergy Boston, Abode`s Associate Program Manager Kenna Lauer shared how this tool is helping people cut through the noise; turning “where do I even start?” into clear next steps.
It’s been great to see it out in the world and actually being used.
Built through a collaboration between @Mass.Housing (via the Massachusetts Community Climate Bank), @RewiringAmerica, and Abode, this is what it looks like when the right partners come together around one goal: making electrification easier.
Take a look at the savings finder on the masshousing.com website.

On Monday, our own Megan Atkinson and Kenna Lauer hosted their first event as Boston Chapter Co-chairs for @newomeninee with a behind-the-scenes look at The Boston Beer Company (home of @samueladamsbeer ).
👏 A big shout out to Boston Beer Company`s Senior Manager of Sustainability Jill Westra for leading such a thoughtful conversation on sustainability in manufacturing, and to everyone who joined us for some great local NEWIEE community networking.
Alex Sheehan came to Abode as a summer intern in 2022, and after two years of helping Abode with our information security posture, we were delighted to have him on full time as IT and System Administrator - our first IT hire.
He then continued to improve our security infrastructure and support IT (including transitioning our workspace platform - no small feat) and dug in on the other tools Abode uses on a day-to-day basis, and how they all connect. He added Power Automate development to his (and our) toolkit and has been streamlining our tool integrations. He`s been behind the scenes setting up the technical infrastructure for all our program changes and launches since!
In his new role, he is continuing to build his development chops, taking on management of IT, and working with our new IT coordinator to keep the Abode ship running smoothly. He is now in our Product team where his technical skills can shine as he supports new and exciting platforms the team is working on to improve our program support.
Congratulations Alex! 👏
@neseaorg’s BuildingEnergy Boston brought together practitioners focused on practical solutions, open exchange, and steady progress across the clean energy community. The “Don’t Stop Us Now!” theme reflected the emphasis on learning from one another—through sessions, conversations, and shared experience.
We were glad to take part, including the session on connecting the dots for small residential decarbonization. Thanks as well to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect.
We appreciate the opportunity to be part of this year’s event and look forward to continuing the conversation.

Abode is excited to announce Shannon Bellamy`s promotion to Business Development Specialist.
Since joining Abode in 2023, Shannon’s hard-working can-do attitude has had a giant impact on our team and the programs we operate. As the Program Manager for our Clean Heat Rhode Island implementation, she’s run a hugely successful program that has helped thousands of customers adopt clean heating technologies and enrolled over a hundred contractors in the Heat Pump Installer Network.
Shannon`s ability to think broadly and systematically shines through in everything she does. In her new role in Business Development, Shannon will lead proposal responses, evaluate new opportunities, and support both internal and external communications. We`re so excited to see her continue to grow.
Congratulations Shannon! 👏
