Heating & Cooling accounts for over 60% of the average home energy use. You can significantly reduce your home's energy consumption, carbon footprint and energy costs by upgrading to energy efficient heating and cooling equipment. Combined with no-cost weatherization upgrades, your new heating and cooling equipment will provide comfort, convenience, and savings.
If you are looking for a convenient way to heat and cool your home, consider a heat pump. Heat pumps can efficiently heat your home in the winter and double as a cooling system in the summer while lowering greenhouse emissions.
The Sponsors of Mass Save® are making the purchase and installation of energy-efficient heat pumps affordable for Massachusetts residents.
New system(s) must be replacing an existing residential electric, propane, or oil water heating and/or heating system. Visit Residential New Construction Program, Residential High-Rise New Construction Program and Renovations and Additions Program to learn more about how to participate in these programs.
