Massachusetts Home Energy Rebates
A guide to rebates, tax credits, and incentives for Massachusetts homeowners considering heat pumps, solar, insulation, air sealing, water heaters, and battery storage.
What are the best HVAC rebates for Massachusetts homeowners in 2025?
The highest-value HVAC and energy-efficiency rebates for Massachusetts homeowners in 2025 come through Mass Save: air-source heat pumps (up to $10,000+), insulation and air sealing (often 75–100% of project cost), and heat pump water heaters ($500–$1,500). Federal 25C tax credits stack on top — up to $2,000/year for heat pumps and water heaters, up to $1,200/year for insulation. Rebate amounts depend on your utility, current heating fuel, project scope, equipment eligibility, and weatherization status.
Caveat: Rebate amounts are estimates based on April 2025 program data. Verify current amounts with your utility or Mass Save before assuming eligibility.
