Heat pumps · MA
Heat pumps in Massachusetts.
A heat pump sized to carry the house through a New England winter, and a Mass Save rebate that covers a real share of the install.
Massachusetts
What makes Massachusetts different.
Typical homes here see about $0.29 / kWh and 1,210 kWh per kW per year. We size the system to your bill — then confirm it on the roof.
Mass Save pays the most when the heat pump becomes the home’s primary heating system, and less when it carries part of the load alongside a fossil system that stays. Both rebates are in the cards beside this, and the HEAT Loan finances the balance at 0% on qualifying equipment. There is also an income-based enhanced tier that goes considerably higher — we will not quote that one until we have screened income and weatherization, because it does not belong in a zip-code prelim.
Sizing is the part that decides whether you are happy in February. We design for the coldest week rather than for the largest rebate, and we will tell you when keeping a fossil backup is the honest answer.

Massachusetts, specifically
What power has actually cost here.
Every savings figure on this site assumes your utility keeps raising its rate. So does every other company’s. The difference is that you can check ours — these are the federal government’s own published prices for Massachusetts, next to the number we model.
| Last 5 years (2019–2024) | 6.0% |
|---|---|
| Last 10 years (2014–2024) | 5.4% |

No single window is the truth, which is exactly why anyone showing you one number for the next twenty-five years — including us — is showing you an assumption. Ask any installer what your savings look like at today’s rate with no increase at all. How the money works runs that comparison.
Who you buy power from here
Eversource, National Grid, Unitil. Which one serves your address decides the tariff you can take and the credit you get for what the roof exports, so an advisor confirms it before anything is filed.
Who does the work
Crews dispatch from Boston. Licensed in Massachusetts as 213657 — public record, worth looking up before you let anyone on your roof.
