Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace my existing heating system to qualify for a Mass Save rebate?
While rebates are still available for customers who want to keep their existing heating systems, higher rebates are given to those who install a new heat pump to replace traditional systems.
Do Mass Save rebates change each year?
Yes. Rebate amounts and program rules typically change from year to year, sometimes with lower rebate amounts offered over time. If you’re considering installing a new mini-split, now is the time to get maximum savings before the rebate amount is potentially reduced next year.
Are there rebates available for landlords or multi-family properties?
Yes, if you are a landlord or own a multi-family building, you can qualify for the same rebates that individual homeowners do. However, you may not be eligible for income-based incentives. A member of our team can help you determine your eligibility status and apply for your rebate.
How long do homeowners have to apply for a rebate after installation?
Typically, you have 60 to 90 days after installation to apply for your Mass Save rebate. Since we do this on your behalf, you can enjoy the savings right away without worrying about keeping receipts or mailing rebate paperwork.
Do I need to use a specific contractor to qualify for rebates?
Yes, you need to work with a contractor that participates in the Mass Save program or meets program requirements. New England Heat Pump is a Mass Save Partner.
