Air to Water Heat Pumps

*The Sponsors of Mass Save offer enhanced incentives for income-qualified households. Pre-existing fuel type must be oil, propane, or electric resistance. Cape Light Compact enhanced heat pump rebates differ from the amount listed. Customers are eligible for 80% of the installed cost of qualifying heat pump systems.

1. Confirm Eligibility
   View the Eligibility Tab to confirm the eligible requirements. The Sponsors of Mass Save offer enhanced incentives to income-qualified households.
   If you are a Cape Light residential customer, please call 1-800-797-6699 or learn more here. To verify your heat pump project is eligible for a rebate, you can complete a pre-verification form through the online application portal.
2. Ensure Your Home Has Sufficient Weatherization
   Heat pumps perform best when a home is sufficiently weatherized and the system is sized properly for the home. These are requirements for the Air to Water Heat Pump Rebate, and the Whole-home Heat Pump Verification Form must be completed and signed. See the eligibility tab for more details. Customers in multi-family 5+ buildings are encouraged to get a Home Energy Assessment and complete recommended weatherization, however weatherization is not required for these building types.
3. Find a Qualifying Contractor
   To qualify, the heat pump system must be installed by a contractor participating in the Mass Save Heat Pump Installer Network. The contractor can help you determine what solution is best suited for your home. We recommend getting proposals from 2-3 contractors.
4. Purchase & Install Eligible Equipment
   Work with your contractor to purchase and install an eligible heat pump system.
