NHSaves heat pump ($250 to $2,000 per ton) and heat pump water heater ($900) rebates apply. We found no Eversource-run solar rebate or confirmed EV charger rebate. |

What to plan for in Claremont
- Ice storms (relatively moderate): Ice storms bring down lines for days. A standby generator with a transfer switch, or a battery sized for the fridge, furnace blower and well pump, matters more than a small power station.
- Landslides (relatively low): Decide what must stay on and size backup to that.
- Hurricanes (relatively low): Hurricanes can mean a week without power. A standby generator on natural gas or propane, or a battery with solar, beats a stack of gas cans; check flood height before you site equipment.
