Most Common Question

Should I get a heat pump or solar first?

Short answer: Heat pump wins. A heat pump pays for itself in 4–6 years. Solar takes 10–15 years.

Heat Pump Path (With Mass Save):

You pay $6,000–$8,000 after the Mass Save rebate. You save $1,200 per year. It's paid for in about 6 years. After that, free heating for 20+ years. Note: only R-32 or R-454B refrigerant units qualify as of January 1, 2026 — older R-410A units are no longer eligible.

Solar Path:

You pay $15,000–$22,000 after rebates. You save $1,500 per year. It's paid for in about 13 years. After that, free electricity for 20+ years.

Quick Questions

Will a heat pump heat my Massachusetts home in winter?
Yes. Massachusetts winters are milder than Canada's. Boston averages -2°C to +5°C. Heat pumps work great. When cold snaps hit -15°C to -20°C, backup heat kicks in. Read more about heat pump performance in Massachusetts winter.
I live in one of the 41 excluded towns. What do I do?
You can't use Mass Save, but alternatives exist. Check your town and see your options.
What if my Mass Save rebate gets rejected?
Common reasons: Your contractor isn't on the Mass Save list, your heat pump uses the now-banned R-410A refrigerant, or your income is too high. See all rejection reasons.
How long until I get my Mass Save rebate?
About 5–7 months total. Application approval takes 2–4 weeks. Work gets done in 1–5 days. Rebate payment arrives in 4–8 weeks after completion.
Can I get multiple installer quotes?
Yes. Browse every vetted local installer in your city, not just one — ratings, reviews, and specialties, no forced single match.
Is my contractor's rebate quote a scam?
It can be, if the promised rebate is doing most of the work to make an inflated price look reasonable. Check the real rebate cap before you sign →
