Replacing your water heating equipment with a high-efficiency heat pump water heater is the most efficient way to heat water in a home – up to three times more efficient than conventional electric water heaters.
In addition to incentives, you can also take advantage of federal tax credits to further lower the price of purchasing and installing a heat pump water heater.
For existing water heating equipment, regular maintenance is recommended to ensure maximum efficiency.
In alignment with the commonwealth's climate policy and goals, including a mandate passed into law by the 2021 Climate Act, rebates, incentives, and financing for equipment powered by natural gas, oil and propane are no longer available. The only exception is for income-eligible households. Incentives remain available for income-eligible customers upgrading existing fossil fuel equipment to high efficiency models.
