Sutton homes and what they need
Sutton is a largely rural town with farmhouses, older colonials and newer homes on bigger lots, many of them heated with oil or propane.
Sutton is a rural Blackstone Valley town with villages such as Manchaug and Wilkinsonville and homes near Purgatory Chasm, Lake Singletary and Manchaug Pond. Many homes sit on larger lots and are heated with oil or propane, so air sealing and attic insulation pay back quickly.
Central Massachusetts winters are colder and snowier than on the coast, and Worcester County's higher elevations add wind exposure, which makes attic air sealing and insulation especially valuable.

Climate & code
Climate zone 5A targets
Sutton is in IECC climate zone 5A. For attics in zones 5 and 6, ENERGY STAR recommends R-49 to R-60, and many existing homes here have far less. Many Massachusetts towns have adopted the Stretch Energy Code or the Specialized Opt-in Code, which raise insulation and air-sealing requirements for new construction and major renovations.
