What are the 2025 Mass Save Rebate Changes?
- Starting in 2025, rebates will be calculated based on a per-ton basis rather than flat rates. The standard for whole-home Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) will now offer $3,000 per ton, up to a cap of $10,000 per home. The change from flat-rate rebates can significantly impact homeowners with smaller properties, particularly those under 1,200 square feet who may receive less than the $10,000 rebate compared to larger homes.
- The popular 0% interest Mass Save HEAT Loan program will see a reduction in loan repayment terms for most income brackets. While households earning 81%-135% of the state median income (SMI) will continue to qualify for 7-year loans, those earning more will only be eligible for shorter terms of 5 or 3 years. This will lead to significantly higher monthly payments.
- Heat pump rebates will continue to decrease on an annual basis after 2025, meaning this year is the best time to maximize your savings. For example, the rebate for whole-home Air-Source heat pumps will decrease to $2,700 per ton in 2026 and $2,500 per ton in 2027.
