Mass Save® Heat Pump Rebates in Massachusetts

What is Mass Save?

Mass Save is a collaborative energy efficiency program sponsored by Massachusetts' electric and natural gas utilities. The program encourages homeowners to install high-efficiency equipment that reduces energy consumption while improving comfort and lowering utility bills.

One of the program's most popular incentives is the Mass Save Heat Pump Rebate, which can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installing qualifying cold-climate heat pumps. Current rebates vary based on the type of installation, with qualifying homeowners potentially eligible for rebates of up to $8,500, while income-qualified households may qualify for enhanced incentives of up to $16,000.

Why Choose a Mass Save Heat Pump?

Modern cold-climate heat pumps provide:

• Efficient heating during New England winters
• High-performance air conditioning in the summer
• Lower energy consumption
• Reduced carbon emissions
• Improved indoor comfort
• Quiet operation
• Zoned temperature control with ductless systems
• Potential savings on monthly utility bills

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that today's heat pumps are specifically engineered to perform efficiently even during harsh Massachusetts winters.
