Massachusetts heat-pump rebates: two different programs

The federal Home Energy Rebates program in Massachusetts is not open yet. That is not the same thing as saying Massachusetts has no heat-pump help. Mass Save runs separate offers for eligible customers today.

Federal HEAR and HOMES: Massachusetts is still in the program-design and approval stage. FrugalWatt lists that federal-program status as not open yet.

Mass Save: this is a separate utility-sponsored program. Its current offers are not counted in the federal board or the optimizer, so check it directly before you make a decision.

Before you book work

Confirm eligibility and timing first. Incentives can depend on your utility, equipment, income, and whether the project is approved before installation. The official program page is the authority.

Do not add two programs together by assumption. Whether offers can be combined depends on their rules. Ask the administrator or installer to confirm the exact incentive path for your home.

Why FrugalWatt separates them

A federal-program status board is useful only if it does not turn into a misleading all-rebates directory. This page makes the distinction explicit: the federal program is one source of help; state and utility programs can be another.
