Common Questions About Mass Save Incentives
Mass Save® is an initiative sponsored by Massachusetts' natural gas and electric utilities and energy efficiency service providers, including Berkshire Gas Company, Cape Light Compact, Eversource, Liberty, National Grid, and Unitil.
The Mass Save Program is funded by the energy efficiency charge on all customers’ gas and electric bills. So by cashing in on these incentives you are getting back the cash you already were charged!
Typically, Mass Save rebates are processed in six weeks or less of receiving a completed application. However, incomplete applications, missing documentation, or a high volume of applications can prolong the process.
By allowing Home Mechanics to manage the Mass Save rebate for your new ductless mini split heat pump system, you can get immediate credit from your rebate.
If you choose to submit the rebate application yourself and have not received your rebate within the expected timeframe, you can contact the Mass Save Customer Service Center at 1-866-527-7283. They can provide an update and resolve issues that may delay processing.
After the installation of your new heat pump system, it can take six weeks before you receive your rebate from the Mass Save program. This means the homeowner needs to pay the full amount of the system weeks before they receive their rebate.
To help homeowners take advantage of Mass Save incentives, the program now allows homeowners to designate their rebate payments directly to their approved Mass Save contractor. This allows approved contractors to apply for the rebate on behalf of their customers, deduct the amount from the invoice, and receive their rebate in two to three weeks.
Home Mechanics is an approved contractor in the Mass Save Heat Pump Installer Network, allowing us to submit the rebate for you.
