The Mass Save program is an essential tool for many Massachusetts residents. The program offers financial incentives to homeowners who invest in home efficiency upgrades, such as home weatherization and heat pump systems.
Many Jay Moody HVAC customers utilize Mass Save when converting to heat pumps or other high-efficiency systems.
Since inception of the program, Mass Save requirements and processes have evolved. While most changes occur at the beginning of the year, Mass Save can update its program requirements at any time. It’s important that homeowners take this into account when planning home improvement projects that utilize the program.
So, what is the 2024 Mass Save Program all about?

2024 Mass Save Whole-Home Air Source Heat Pump Rebate
HVAC rebate amounts fall into two primary categories: whole-home system or a partial-home system installation:
Whole-Home Heat Pump Incentives Overview
Income Qualified Whole-Home Rebate | Mass Save Whole-Home Rebate |
Up to $16,000 | Up to $10,000 |
Inflation Reduction Act Tax Credit | Mass Save HEAT Loan |
Up to $2,000 | Up to $50,000 |
To qualify for the whole-home rebate, homeowners must convert pre-existing electric resistance, oil, propane or natural gas fuel systems over to an air or ground source heat pump system. Your new heat pump system must be the primary source of heating for your entire home to qualify for the whole-home rebate.
Mass Save offers income qualified whole home air source heat pump rebates of up to $16,000.
To apply for this Enhanced Rebate Amount, customers must independently submit their application to Mass Save.
For those who do not qualify for Mass Save’s income eligible Enhanced Rebate Amount, Mass Save offers whole-home rebates up to $10,000.
Jay Moody HVAC is happy to help throughout the application process. Read more about the Mass Save Process, here.
Please note that all Mass Save rebates are approved and dispersed at Mass Save’s discretion, once the project is completed and paid in full.
2024 Whole-Home Rebate Requirements
Utility Provider
To participate in the Mass Save program, you must be a residential customer of one of the following Mass Save Sponsors:
- Eversource
- Unitil
- National Grid
- Berkshire Gas
- Cape Light Compact
- Liberty Utilities
Home Energy Assessment
If you have not received an Energy Assessment in the past two years and your home was built prior to 2000, you are required to have a Home Energy Assessment.
This is a free assessment conducted by a verified Mass Save vendor who will determine if home weatherization is necessary.

Necessary weatherization must be completed by a qualifying contractor before your heat pump system is installed.
Approved Equipment & Contractors
Your heat pump installation must be completed by a contractor participating in the Mass Save Heat Pump Installer Network (HPIN). Jay Moody HVAC is a member of the HPIN!
Additionally, heat pump equipment used must also be listed on the Mass Save Heat Pump Qualified Products List. Our Sales Engineers are well versed on which equipment meets the Mass Save requirements!
Complete System Disconnects
Perhaps the most impactful 2024 Mass Save change is the required full disablement of the home’s fossil fuel heating system. This means your entire pre-existing system must be removed and/or completely disconnected so that it is not operational.
This differs from 2023. Mass Save previously allowed homeowners to agree to only use their pre-existing system during heat pump maintenance downtime. Now the pre-existing heating system must be disconnected.
Approved disablement methods include:
- Pre-existing system has been removed
- Pre-existing heating system has been disconnected from the panel (i.e., wire terminated outside of the circuit panel and no longer energized).
- Pre-existing thermostat(s) have been disconnected from both the system board and walls.
- Pre-existing fuel line has been disconnected and capped.
Whole-Home Heat Pump Verification Form
The Whole-Home Heat Pump Verification Form, obtained during the energy assessment, must be submitted to Mass Save within 60 days of your system installation. This form verifies the details of the installation and confirms that your new heat pump system is used as the home’s primary source of heat.
Submit Rebate Application
To receive your whole-home rebate, the rebate application and supporting documentation must also be submitted within 60 days of the final system installation.

2024 Mass Save Partial-Home Air Source Heat Pump Rebate
For homeowners who are not ready or able to convert their home entirely to heat pumps, Mass Save’s Partial-Home Heat Pump rebates are still a great resource!
The Partial-Home Rebate offers incentives for homeowners who use heat pumps to supplement their home’s heating/cooling needs. The rebate amount is based on the size of the system installed. The rebate amount for a Partial-Home Air Source Heat Pump System starts at $1,250/ton and caps at $10,000.

2024 Mass Save HEAT Loan
In addition to rebate incentives, Mass Save offers the Mass Save HEAT Loan, a financing incentive for home energy improvements.
The Mass Save HEAT Loan is a zero-interest, 7-year loan of up to $50,000. This loan can be used to finance your whole-home heat pump installation as well as any necessary weatherization. Requirements for the Mass Save HEAT Loan are like those of the whole-home rebate.
A Home Energy Assessment and weatherization is necessary to qualify for the HEAT Loan. Once you have completed this step and have chosen a contractor, you can apply for the HEAT Loan. To do this, you must submit a copy of the intake form using the Mass Save HEAT Loan online portal.
If you have chosen Jay Moody HVAC for your installation, our team is happy to help you navigate the application process.
It’s important to note that the HEAT Loan does not cover any rebate amounts expected to be dispersed to you prior to your rebate application’s approval.
For instance, if your project costs $25,000 and you qualify for a $10,000 rebate, you would receive a HEAT Loan of $15,000 and would be expected to pay the remaining $10,000 of your project at the time of the installation. Jay Moody HVAC also offers no/low-interest financing through Synchrony Bank.
2024 Boiler & Furnace Rebates
In 2024, Mass Save will begin phasing out incentives for fossil fuel equipment such as natural gas, oil and propane furnaces/boilers. Qualifying fuel systems must be installed by August 31, 2024. Rebate applications must be submitted by September 30, 2024 to be eligible for Mass Save rebates.
