The Right Program for Your Town, Figured Out Before You Install
Rebates are sitting there waiting to be claimed, and most homeowners in Massachusetts never see all of it, not because they don’t qualify, but because the program they’re in is decided by their electric utility, not their town, and almost nobody explains that before the install. So the wrong equipment goes in, or the paperwork goes out late, and a few thousand dollars quietly walk away
Peach Heat and Cool serves 30+ towns across Bristol, Plymouth, and Norfolk counties. We confirm your program before installation starts, install only equipment that qualifies, and submit every form after the job is done.

Massachusetts HVAC Rebate Guidance
The One Rule That Determines Your Rebate Program
Your rebate program is determined by whoever sends your electric bill. If Eversource or National Grid powers your home, you’re covered by Mass Save®. If your electricity comes from a Municipal Light Plant, you’re enrolled in that town’s separate program, with its own rules, eligibility requirements, and rebate amounts.
Because nearby homes can qualify for completely different programs, Peach Heat & Cool verifies your electric provider before preparing your quote. Send us your electric bill, and we’ll confirm which rebate program covers your address.

Massachusetts Heat Pump Rebate Programs We Work With
Your electric utility decides which rebate program applies to your home. This visual guide keeps the program explanation, qualification notes, and available savings together so homeowners can compare each option without digging through separate utility websites.
Mass Save Heat Pump Rebates
Mass Save is funded by Eversource and National Grid, and it covers the majority of towns Peach Heat and Cool serve. If either utility provides your electricity, you qualify for a heat pump or ductless mini-split rebate in 2026. It's the largest heat pump incentive program in the state, and for most homeowners reading this, it's the program that matters.
- Whole-Home Rebate: $2,650 per ton, up to $8,500
- Partial-Home Rebate: $1,125 per ton, up to $8,500
- Basic Rebate: $250 per ton, up to $2,500
- Equipment must use R-32 or R-454B refrigerant
TMLP Saves — Taunton and Raynham
Taunton and some parts of Raynham are served by the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant . The Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant has a rebate program separate from Mass Save, administered through Energy New England and Abode Energy Management. Raynham is split between TMLP and Eversource depending on your exact address, which is why "check your bill first" saves you a headache.
- Heat pump rebate: $1,250 per ton, up to $5,000
- Free home energy assessment required through ENE
- Contractor must be certified by Abode Energy Management
- 0% zero-interest loan available up to $25,000
MMED Program — Mansfield
Mansfield is served by the Mansfield Municipal Electric Department, with rebates running through NextZero and Energy New England. Here's the thing about Mansfield: the money is limited each year, and it usually runs dry before the year is out. If you're in Mansfield, applying early in the calendar year is the single most useful thing you can do for yourself.
- Heat pump rebate: up to $2,000 for ENERGY STAR certified equipment
- Free home energy assessment through ENE required
- Rebate forms must be postmarked by January 31, 2027
- Contact: mansfieldelectric.com or (508) 261-7361
NAED Program — North Attleborough
In North Attleborough, heat pump rebates are offered through the North Attleborough Electric Department and apply to both ducted and ductless systems. These funds are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, often running out before December. Booking late in the fall can put you at risk of missing out.
- Heat pump rebate: $300 per ton for ducted and ductless systems
- Additional $300 adder when replacing an existing system
- Call NAED before starting any work: 508-643-6310
- Contact: rebates@naelectric.com
BELD Clean Comfort — Braintree
Braintree homeowners can take advantage of the Clean Comfort program through the Braintree Electric Light Department, managed by Abode Energy Management. The program supports heat pump installation and ductless mini-split systems for homes heated with oil or electric resistance. If your home uses natural gas, you qualify instead through Mass Save via your gas account. Peach Heat & Cool handles the process for you, making it simple to claim rebates and upgrade your system.
- Heat pump rebate calculated per ton through Abode Energy Management
- Free home energy assessment required before work begins
- Contractor must be on the BELD-approved list
- 0% MLP Zero-Interest Loan available
Seasonal Heat Pump Electric Rate
Eversource and National Grid customers in Massachusetts who heat with a qualifying heat pump receive a reduced distribution rate every winter, from November 1 through April 30. Customers who installed a heat pump through Mass Save after January 1, 2019, should have been automatically enrolled and notified in October 2025. Check your electric bill for the code R1HP or R2HP in the delivery section to confirm enrollment. Peach Heat & Cool can guide you through eligibility and help ensure your heat pump or ductless mini-split system qualifies.
- Eversource heating season rate: $0.02052/kWh vs. $0.06264/kWh standard
- National Grid heating season rate: $0.02440/kWh vs. $0.06677/kWh standard
- Estimated average savings: $540 per winter, recurring every year you own the system
- Peach Heat & Cool assists with eligibility checks
Additional Savings That Stack With Any Program
Massachusetts Sales Tax Exemption
Heat pump equipment that qualifies in Massachusetts can receive a 6.25% sales tax exemption. The savings are reflected right on the installation invoice, so the cost comes down immediately without extra forms or a separate wait.
- Available statewide, including Mass Save and MLP areas
- Can reduce cost by about $937 to $1,250 on a $15,000 to $20,000 system
- No added paperwork or extra approval step
- Lowers the upfront investment from day one
NEHPA Pass-Through Incentive
The New England Heat Pump Accelerator provides $650 off each qualifying outdoor unit at the time of installation. The discount is applied directly to the invoice, which means the savings show up upfront instead of later.
- Requires ENERGY STAR v6.1 cold-climate certified equipment
- Applied at installation rather than reimbursed later
- Can be combined with Mass Save rebates, MLP rebates, the HEAT Loan, and the sales tax exemption
- Helps bring down upfront cost right away

Not Every HVAC Contractor in Massachusetts Knows Heat Pumps. Here Is How to Tell the Difference
Licensed and Authorized to Install MRCOOL® Systems
Peach Heat and Cool is a licensed Massachusetts HVAC contractor and an authorized MRCOOL® dealer. That authorization matters. It means factory-trained technicians, access to proper technical support, and installations that keep the manufacturer warranty intact. An unauthorized installer voids that warranty the day the job is done.
Real Cold-Climate Experience, Not General HVAC Experience
There is a difference between an HVAC contractor who has installed heat pumps and one who specializes in them. Peach Heat and Cool installs heat pumps and ductless mini-splits exclusively. Our technicians know how cold-climate systems behave in Massachusetts winters, how to size them correctly, and what actually fails in the field.
Enrolled in the Mass Save Heat Pump Installer Network
To process any Mass Save rebate, your installer must be in the Heat Pump Installer Network (HPIN). Without it, your rebate application goes nowhere regardless of the equipment installed. Confirm HPIN enrollment before signing any contract. Peach Heat and Cool is enrolled and processes Mass Save paperwork on every qualifying job.
Manual J Load Calculation on Every Job, Not Estimates
Oversized systems short-cycle. Undersized systems run constantly and fall behind in the cold. The only way to size correctly is a Manual J load calculation that accounts for your home’s insulation, windows, layout, and ceiling height. We run one on every installation. It also secures the $500 sizing bonus where applicable.
Only Quotes R-32 and R-454B Equipment
R-410A was removed from every Massachusetts rebate program on January 1, 2026. Any contractor quoting R-410A equipment is either unaware of the change or hoping you are. Every MRCOOL® system Peach Heat and Cool installs uses R-32 or R-454B refrigerant. Your rebate eligibility is confirmed before the equipment is ordered.
Transparent Pricing That Does Not Change Between Estimate and Invoice
A quote that grows between the estimate and the final invoice is one of the most common complaints against HVAC contractors. Every Peach Heat and Cool quote is complete before installation begins. If something unexpected comes up during the job, you hear about it and approve it before work continues.
5.0 Stars Across 37 Google Reviews From Southeastern Massachusetts Homeowners
The clearest signal of what working with a contractor actually looks like is what local homeowners say after the job is finished. Check the reviews before you decide. Our rating reflects consistent feedback on clean installations, honest communication, and systems that perform the way they were described on estimate day.
One Company for Installation, Servicing, and Rebate Processing
A contractor who installs and disappears leaves you finding someone new for every tune-up, diagnostic, and rebate follow-up. Peach Heat and Cool handles the full lifecycle: installation, seasonal servicing, and rebate paperwork from submission to payment. One contact, one relationship, for the life of the system.
2026 Heat Pump & Mini-Split Incentive Updates
If you've been reading up on rebates, some of what you found is already out of date. Here's what actually changed, and if a quote you're holding ignores any of this, the numbers on it are wrong. Here's what Peach Heat & Cool wants you to know before signing any install contract.
Federal 25C Tax Credit Expired
The federal heat pump tax credit ended on December 31, 2025. Any installation in 2026 or later is not eligible. If a contractor still includes it in their savings, the numbers are inaccurate.
Mass Save Rebate Adjustments
Whole-home heat pump rebates dropped from $3,000 per ton to $2,650 per ton, and the maximum cap went from $10,000 to $8,500. Partial-home incentives were also reduced. Any estimate using 2025 figures is outdated.
R-410A No Longer Eligible
Rebates now only apply to R-32 or R-454B refrigerants. All MRCOOL® units Peach Heat & Cool installs comply with these requirements. Quotes referencing R-410A systems are no longer valid.
Clean Heat Standard Delayed
The Clean Heat Standard, initially slated for 2026, has been postponed to no earlier than 2028. Current rebate calculations should not include it.
Finance What Remains After Your Rebate at Zero Percent Interest
The Mass Save HEAT Loan makes covering the remaining costs after your rebates easy. With 0% APR, no fees, and no prepayment penalties, you can finance up to $25,000 over seven years.
Use it for heat pump installations, electrical upgrades, or weatherization work. If you're a TMLP or BELD customer, you might also qualify for similar 0% financing through your local utility program.
How Peach Heat & Cool Handles Your Rebate
Most contractors talk about rebates; we actually handle them for you. From start to finish, our team ensures your heat pump or ductless mini-split qualifies, paperwork is completed, and you get the savings you deserve.
Confirm Your Program
We check your address and utility to determine the exact rebate program, Mass Save, TMLP, MMED, NAED, BELD, or natural gas rules for MLP towns, so there are no surprises.
Install Qualifying Equipment
Every MRCOOL® system we install uses R-32 or R-454B refrigerant and is on the approved products list. We never recommend equipment that could disqualify your rebate.
Coordinate the Energy Assessment
Many programs require a home energy assessment. We handle scheduling and integrate it seamlessly into your project, so you don't have to manage extra appointments.
Size for the Right Tier
The difference between Whole-Home and Partial-Home rebates can exceed $1,500 per ton. Correct Manual J sizing ensures you qualify for the proper rebate and any applicable sizing bonuses.
Submit All Documentation
We file rebate forms, verification documents, contractor certifications, and income eligibility paperwork if needed. You only sign where required—no juggling forms yourself.
Track the Deadlines
We monitor all deadlines, including Mass Save's installation cutoff (December 31, 2026) and paperwork submission (February 28, 2027). MLP timelines are tracked individually to make sure you don't miss out.
Heat Pump Rebates FAQ
It depends on your electric utility, not your town. If Eversource or National Grid provides your electricity, you are in Mass Save. If your town runs its own electric utility, you are in that town's MLP program instead. MLP towns in our service area include Taunton, Raynham (most addresses), Mansfield, North Attleborough, Braintree, Middleborough, and Lakeville. Check your electric bill or contact us, and we will confirm your program before quoting.
Yes, with one condition: the system has to provide both heating and cooling. Cooling-only
ductless units don't qualify under any program. A single-zone mini-split qualifies for the
Basic tier, and a multi-zone system heating most of the home can reach the Partial-Home or
Whole-Home tiers.
Yes. The Partial-Home tier ($1,125 per ton, up to $8,500) is built for this. Your heat pump handles the majority of the heating load and the existing system stays as a backup. An integrated control is required to manage the switchover.
For Mass Save Whole-Home and Partial-Home tiers, an assessment is required to unlock the weatherization bonus and confirm weatherization eligibility. MLP programs require it before most rebates are processed. We coordinate it as part of the project.
Mass Save typically processes rebates within about eight weeks of receiving complete
paperwork. BELD runs closer to four to six weeks. Peach Heat and Cool submits everything
complete on the first pass, which is the main thing that keeps it from dragging.
Yes. The rebate is applied to your total project cost first. The HEAT Loan then covers your remaining out-of-pocket balance at 0% interest for up to seven years. Both are processed through Mass Save at the same time. They are designed to be used together.
Peach Heat and Cool Customer Stories
See What Our Clients Are Saying
We were intrigued by the concept of a heat pump and sat down with Dave who explained the whole concept to us. He was passionate in his description and you could tell he wasn't selling us on the idea, just speaking about something he was passionate about. Fast forward, and we love our heat pump, and instant jump to central air due to the nature of how it just works. Absolutely get one, and absolutely get it here.
I had a great experience with Peach Heat and Cool. They were punctual, clean, and very professional throughout the entire process. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond to resolve my issue — they contacted Mr. Cool directly, handled everything with the warranty, and ordered the necessary parts at no cost to me. The labor rate was also very reasonable and affordable. It's rare to find a company that’s this honest and efficient. Highly recommended!
Dave was a pleasure to work with through our heating and cooling installation. The Peach Heat and Cool install team went above and beyond to ensure we had as little disruption to our interior as possible, they installed through the walls and attic flawlessly. Dave was knowledgeable, punctual, and personable from start to finish. My husband and I appreciated how considerate Dave was to our tenants during the install process, our tenants provided Dave and team a 5 star review as well!
Dave Peach was so great to work with! He installed a heat pump HVAC system and heat pump hot water heater in our Dorchester condo. He helped us navigate the Mass Save loan and rebate processes, and was very responsive as questions came up. The work he did was excellent, including fixing some janky ductwork the developer left us with from the original HVAC install. He was courteous and professional at every step, and did it all at half the cost of other Boston companies offering comparable services. I definitely recommend Peach Heat and Cool!
