What summer actually asks of a system in Peabody
Peabody gets about 60 days above 80°F in a year, and only about 10 above 90°F. That short, concentrated peak is exactly why an oversized air conditioner works badly here: it cools the air quickly, then shuts off before it has pulled the humidity out, leaving the house cold and clammy.

Peabody's electricity comes from the city-owned Peabody Municipal Light Plant, so Mass Save's electric rebates do not reach households here; PMLP runs its own programme through MMWEC's NextZero. That programme pays $500 per ton for air-source heat pumps including ductless mini-splits and $750 per ton for ground source, capped at three tons and $1,500 per address per calendar year, owner-occupied homes only, and paid as a bill credit on the PMLP account. The detail that decides most Peabody jobs is what is excluded: cooling-only central air conditioning and cooling-only mini-split units get nothing — the equipment has to heat and cool to qualify. The rebate form also requires the homeowner to certify that the contractor supplied a Manual J sizing report.

PMLP's 2026 Heat Pump Rebate Program pays $500 per ton for air source heat pumps including ductless mini-splits (requiring SEER2 >= 15.2, HSPF2 >= 8.1, COP >= 1.75 at 5 degrees F) and $750 per ton for ground source heat pumps (EER2 >= 19.2, COP >= 3.5). Rebates are limited to equipment totalling up to 3 tons (36,000 BTU) per address per calendar year, apply only to owner-occupied homes, require installation by a licensed contractor with no self-installation, and are paid as a bill credit to the PMLP electric account.
PMLP states under eligible equipment: 'Central AC systems and ductless mini-split cooling-only units are not eligible. Qualifying systems must provide both heating and cooling.'
PMLP's rebate application requires the customer's signature to certify 'that you have received a Manual J sizing report from your contractor and that you are satisfied that the heat pump will meet your heating and air conditioning needs.' Rounding up of SEER2/EER2/HSPF2/COP ratings is not accepted, and the exact rebate is calculated from the cooling capacity BTUs on the AHRI certificate.
PMLP also rebates a Room Air Conditioner at $40, a Dehumidifier at $30, a WiFi-enabled smart thermostat at 50% up to $125 and a Mini-Split HVAC Control at 50% up to $125, with thermostat/control eligibility requiring the home to have central air conditioning, air source or ground source heat pumps, electric heat or ductless mini-split heat pumps.
