Whole Home Pilot ASHP

*Note: Once your application is complete, you must hit the button at the bottom of the page to preview the application and then scroll down to the bottom of the preview page to submit. The button at the bottom of this page does NOT submit the application.*

MassCEC offers incentives for residents to install qualifying air source heat pumps designed to provide all of their home’s heating needs. For more information on the program, please review the MassCEC Whole Home Air Source Heat Pump Pilot Manual.

Applications must be submitted and approved before project installation.

Before starting your rebate application make sure that you have the following documents:

A copy of the Participants Agreement signed by the System Owner (found here ).
An electric bill (showing the site address - new construction can submit at project completion)
Proposal for air-source heat pump project (showing model numbers and quantity of indoor and outdoor units)
If applying for the Efficiency + Electrification Adder, provide a proposal for the additional eligible measures, if not already shown on the heat pump installation proposal. If applying for funding for a blower door test, submit the Blower Door Test Results and Heat Load Input page (found here , existing building projects only)
Manual J heat load calculations (showing heating load at design temperature). If applying for the Efficiency + Electrification Adder and completing efficiency work and/or installing an Energy Recovery Ventilation, include a Manual J heat load calculation for the current conditions and one representing the proposed measures.
If applicable, income verification (see this page for more info)

For questions, please contact ashp_rebates@masscec.com or call (617) 315-9300.
