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.

If you replace your heating with heat pumps, Mass Save will give you a $10k rebate.

How do you vet contractors & ensure high quality?

We wrote an entire research article on this, and we'll publish it 7/26.

Which contractor do you have a deal with?

To be announced late July 2024!

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): no. 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.

Hannan Rhodes. Also lives in Cambridge. Believes that software can automate a lot of the soft costs for contractors. ECA Solar, UMass Amherst, and before that, started & sold a software startup.
