In this guide, we explain exactly what rebates are available, who qualifies, how the application process works, and how EddyTech Mini Splits Solutions LLC handles the entire rebate process for you.

Bottom Line: Worcester homeowners can receive up to $10,000 in Mass Save rebates plus a 30% federal tax credit on qualifying heat pump installations. EddyTech manages all paperwork as a Mass Save participating contractor. Contact us today to start the process.

What Is the Mass Save Rebate Program?

The Mass Save program is a collaborative effort among Massachusetts’ electric and gas utilities — including Eversource, National Grid, and Unitil — and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center. The program is funded by a small charge on all utility bills and is designed to help Massachusetts residents and businesses reduce energy consumption and transition to clean energy technologies.

Mass Save provides rebates, 0% financing, and technical assistance for qualifying energy-efficiency improvements including insulation, air sealing, efficient appliances, and — most significantly — heat pump systems. The program has been enormously successful: tens of thousands of Massachusetts homeowners have installed heat pumps with Mass Save support, and the rebates available in 2026 are among the most generous in the program’s history.

As a Mass Save participating contractor, EddyTech is authorized to install systems that qualify for the full range of Mass Save incentives. We submit all paperwork directly to the program on your behalf, so you never have to navigate the rebate application process on your own.

Mass Save Heat Pump Rebate Amounts for 2026

Cold Climate Ductless Mini Split Rebates

Up to $1,500 per ton of heating capacity for ENERGY STAR certified cold-climate ductless heat pumps installed by a participating contractor. A typical 2-ton single-zone system earns a $3,000 rebate. A 3-zone system with 2.5 tons per zone earns substantially more.

Whole-Home Heat Pump Rebates (Fossil Fuel Replacement)

Up to $10,000 for whole-home heat pump installations that replace an existing fossil fuel heating system (oil, propane, or natural gas). This is the flagship incentive for Worcester homeowners looking to fully electrify their home heating.

Ducted Air-Source Heat Pump Rebates

$500 to $2,000 for qualifying ducted central heat pump systems, depending on efficiency ratings and whether the system replaces fossil fuel heating.

Weatherization Bonus Rebates

When you install a heat pump at the same time as qualifying air sealing and insulation improvements, you may be eligible for additional rebates of up to $2,000 for weatherization measures. A tighter home means your heat pump works more efficiently and your energy savings are maximized.

Incentive Type	Amount	Qualifying Criteria
Cold Climate Mini Split Rebate	Up to $1,500/ton	ENERGY STAR certified, cold-climate rated
Whole-Home Heat Pump Rebate	Up to $10,000	Replaces fossil fuel primary heating system
Ducted Heat Pump Rebate	$500 – $2,000	ENERGY STAR certified, qualifying efficiency
Federal Tax Credit (IRA)	30%, up to $2,000	Qualifying heat pump equipment, filed at tax time
Mass Save Heat Loan	0% financing, up to $25,000	Income-qualified applicants, up to 7-year term

How to Qualify for Mass Save Heat Pump Rebates in Worcester MA

Most Worcester homeowners qualify for at least some level of Mass Save heat pump rebates. Here are the key eligibility criteria:

• Massachusetts residential utility customer — You must be an active electric or gas utility customer in Massachusetts. Worcester residents served by Eversource, National Grid, or another participating utility qualify.
• Primary residence — The property must be your primary residence, not a rental or investment property. (Separate programs exist for landlords and multi-family property owners.)
• Qualifying equipment — The heat pump must be an ENERGY STAR certified model on the Mass Save qualifying product list. All brands EddyTech installs — Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, and Bosch — have qualifying products.
• Participating contractor installation — The system must be installed by a Mass Save participating contractor like EddyTech. DIY or unlicensed installations do not qualify.
• Pre-approval for whole-home rebates — For the larger whole-home rebates (up to $10,000), a Mass Save home energy assessment is required before installation. EddyTech coordinates this assessment on your behalf.

Important: Rebate amounts and program terms can change. Contact EddyTech today for current rebate amounts and to verify your eligibility before making any decisions.

The Mass Save Heat Loan: 0% Interest Financing

The Mass Save Heat Loan is one of the most powerful financing tools available to Massachusetts homeowners. Through participating lenders, the program offers 0% interest loans of up to $25,000 for qualifying heat pump installations. Key details include:

• Repayment terms of up to 7 years
• Available to income-qualifying homeowners (income limits apply for maximum loan amounts)
• Can be combined with Mass Save rebates (rebates reduce the amount you need to finance)
• No prepayment penalties
• Available through multiple participating lenders including local credit unions and banks

As an example: If your total installation cost is $12,000 and you receive a $6,000 Mass Save rebate, you would only need to finance $6,000 at 0% interest. Monthly payments on a 7-year term would be approximately $71 per month — an amount easily offset by monthly energy savings for most Worcester homeowners.

Stack Your Savings: Other Incentives to Combine with Mass Save

Mass Save rebates are the centerpiece, but they’re not the only savings available to Worcester homeowners in 2026:

Federal Inflation Reduction Act Tax Credit

Under the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners who install qualifying heat pumps can claim a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of the heat pump equipment, up to $2,000 per year. This credit is available through 2032 and applies to the equipment cost, not the installation labor. It’s a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your federal tax liability — far more valuable than a deduction.

HEAT+ Program for Low-Income Households

Worcester homeowners whose household income is at or below 60% of the area median income may qualify for the Mass Save HEAT+ program, which provides additional rebates and free installation for heat pump and weatherization improvements.

Utility Bill Credits

Some Massachusetts utilities offer on-bill credits or demand response program payments to heat pump owners who allow their system to participate in grid management programs during peak demand periods.
