Rebates and incentives

Mass Save offers rebates for qualifying ductless mini-split installations. The amount depends on whether the mini-splits supplement your existing heating system or fully replace it. Certain upgrades qualify for instant rebates; for others, Mass Save sends a rebate check after the installation is complete.

Mass Save also offers incentives for heating, cooling, insulation and air sealing upgrades.

The Mass Save® HEAT Loan covers energy-saving upgrades, including mini-split heat pumps and insulation, and spreads the cost over seven years without interest.

Properties with up to four units. Mass Save® incentives for new air-source heat pumps apply to whole-home installations. A partial-home installation is still eligible.

Properties with five or more units. Mass Save® offers support through its multi-family and facilities program. A no-cost energy assessment is the first step.

To see which rebates apply to your home, request an estimate.
