Heat Pump Rebates 

 Install a high-efficiency heat pump system—and save energy year-round
Heat Pump outside a Massachusetts Business

Heat pump systems offer both heating and cooling in your business space. The Sponsors of Mass Save® are making the purchase and installation of energy-efficient heat pumps affordable for Massachusetts businesses.

The Sponsors offer rebates based on equipment capacity (tonnage) to commercial customers who install heat pumps to supplement or replace a pre-existing oil, propane, natural gas, or electric resistance heating system. To qualify for rebates on heat pumps that partially displace existing heating systems, integrated controls must be installed to coordinate the operation of the primary and back-up units. The Sponsors recommend using an outdoor air temperature switchover point of 30°F or lower when configuring heat pumps to operate alongside existing fossil -fuel systems.
