The Rebates from Mass Save You Should Take Advantage Of In 2023:

Smart Thermostat Rebate

One of our favorites for 2023. Smart thermostats can be a game changer to keeping you comfortable all year around. While having pre-programmable schedules to dial in the savings, you are also eligible for rebates by installing one. 


The Mass Save® Smart Thermostat Rebate provides homeowners with a financial incentive to upgrade their thermostats with energy-efficient models. By installing an eligible smart thermostat, homeowners can receive a rebate of up to $100 from Mass Save®. To be eligible for the rebate, the model must meet certain efficiency standards, including having a programmable scheduling feature and must be ENERGY STAR certified. 


Furthermore, it must also be installed by a qualified contractor certified by Mass Save®. With an upgraded thermostat, homeowners can take advantage of cost savings and help reduce their energy consumption throughout the year. To find a complete list of ENERGY STAR-certified products, click here.


Integrated Controls Rebate

Integrated controls in residential homes automatically switch the heat source between the heat pump and another heat source (typically, a gas or oil heating system) at a pre-set outdoor temperature. This minimizes your furnace use and maximizes the use of your new heat pump to save you money and energy. The Integrated Controls Rebate from Mass Save® provides homeowners with the opportunity to save money and energy by upgrading their home's integrated controls. The rebate offers up to $500 per indoor unit, up to $1500 total.


To be eligible for the rebate, homeowners must install a system that includes at least two "smart" components such as remote access capabilities, energy monitoring tools, and automated scheduling.


Home Energy Assessment Rebates

Mass Save®'s Home Energy Assessment Rebate provides homeowners with the opportunity to save money on their energy bills by receiving an energy audit report on their home performed by a Mass Save®-approved contractor. 


This assessment will identify areas for improvement and provide cost-effective solutions that can help reduce energy consumption and lower energy costs. In addition, homeowners who participate in the Home Energy Assessment program may be eligible for additional rebates and incentives from Mass Save® including heat pumps, and other energy-efficient heating and cooling upgrades. 


While this isn’t a true rebate, it has real value to understand where and how you’re losing energy in the home.

What is the difference between a whole home and a partial home rebate?

A whole home rebate describes if your planned installation affects the entire home, whereas a partial home rebate may only affect a part of your home. 


For example, if you replace your HVAC system with mini-split heat pumps to serve every room it would be a whole home renovation and fall under the whole home rebate. If you only install a mini-split heat pump that heats or cools part of your home, your rebate would be a partial home rebate.
