FAQs
What's a heat pump/mini-split?
A machine that heats and cools your home. They're like ACs with a heating mode. Here's one that goes on the wall without air ducts. There are also ones that use central air ducts.
You can see a photo of a wall unit & an exterior condenser below :)
If you replace your oil or gas heating with heat pumps, Mass Save will give you a $10k rebate.
How do you vet contractors for quality?
This research memo gives you a pretty good idea of how we approach the contractor market.
And here's a more technical memo about what we look for in quality indicators.
Can you show me some previous installations?
You can see an early gallery here with a small fraction of the ~80+ installations we've facilitated at this point!
Does everyone get a $10k rebate?
Depends on your scenario:
- If you live in a triple decker, or a single family home: yes.
- If you live in a multifamily building: you'd qualify only for a partial rebate.
- If you are in an area with a municipal light plan (e.g. no Eversource/National Grid): maybe, but probably not. You may qualify for your local incentive, though.
If you're in Mass Save service territory & you complete a whole home installation, you'd qualify for $10k in MassSave rebates, and an additional $2k in the form of a tax credit from the Inflation Reduction Act. There's also a 0% HEAT Loan.
You may qualify for $16k (or more) enhanced incentives if you fall under these income ranges.
