Mass Save is a Massachusetts-based energy savings program that provides incentives and rebates to homeowners and businesses who invest in energy-efficient upgrades. One of the most cost-effective ways to reduce energy usage and save money is by upgrading your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems. In this article, we’ll discuss which HVAC systems qualify for Mass Save rebates and the types of rebates available.

Mini Splits that Qualify for Mass Save Rebates

Mini split systems are an increasingly popular choice for home heating and cooling solutions. They are easy to install, relatively small in size, require minimal ductwork, and offer great efficiency compared to other systems. Mini-splits also come with both heating and cooling capabilities, making them a perfect all-in-one solution for any home. 

Mass Save offers up to $10,000 in rebates when you install a qualifying mini-split system. To qualify, the system must be at least 15.2 SEER or higher and meet certain other criteria.

Heat Pumps that Qualify for Mass Save Rebates

Heat pumps are another popular option for home heating and cooling systems. They are incredibly efficient, as they can transfer heat from one place to another instead of generating it themselves. Heat pumps can work as a standalone system or in conjunction with other HVAC equipment, such as air conditioners or furnaces.

If you install a qualifying heat pump system, Mass Save offers up to $10,000 in rebates for air-source heat pumps and up to 15,000 for ground-source heat pumps.

Furnaces that Qualify for Mass Save Rebates

Furnaces have been the go-to choice for home heating for decades. Although they are not as efficient as newer systems such as mini splits or heat pumps, they are still a viable option and often the most cost-effective choice. 

Like the above two options, you can save up to $1,000 in rebates when you install a qualifying furnace. The system must be rated at least 95% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) to qualify for the Mass Save rebate.

Room Air Conditioners that Qualify for Mass Save Rebates

Window-mounted room air conditioners are the traditional go-to choice for home cooling solutions. They are relatively simple to install and can be relatively efficient compared to other cooling options. 

Mass Save offers a $40 rebate when you install a qualifying ENERGY STAR certified room air conditioner. If you’re looking at heat pumps or mini splits for air conditioning, refer to the appropriate sections above.

Boilers that Qualify for Mass Save Rebates

Boilers are often used instead of a furnace to provide heat. They are known for their long life expectancy and their efficiency.

If you are considering installing a boiler, remember that the system must be rated at least 95% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) to qualify for the Mass Save. Mass Save can offer up to $1,200 in rebates.
