Boilers & Furnaces
In alignment with the commonwealth's climate policy and goals, including a mandate passed into law by the 2021 Climate Act, rebates, incentives and financing for equipment powered by natural gas, oil and propane are discontinued. Eligible natural gas heating and water heating equipment must have been purchased, installed, and completed applications submitted by September 30, 2024, to receive a rebate. Learn more about the discontinuation of fossil fuel rebates and incentives.
For an existing boiler or furnace, regular maintenance is recommended to ensure maximum efficiency.
Consider replacing a boiler or furnace with a clean energy heat pump for the greatest efficiencies and savings. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one unit.
Paired with weatherization upgrades (insulation and air sealing), upgrading heating and cooling equipment is one of the most effective ways to lower your energy use.
Case Study: Gallo Ice Arena
By upgrading boilers and other equipment, the Gallo Ice Arena saved an estimated $34,694 in annual costs. In addition to energy savings, upgrades improved the ice surface, expanded skating opportunities, and improved rink aesthetics.
