Yes, Lawrence is eligible for Mass Save
Lawrence isn't a Municipal Light Plant town, so it isn't shut out of Mass Save the way some Massachusetts towns are. Lawrence's electric utility is National Grid, an investor-owned utility that helps fund the statewide Mass Save program. Homeowners here qualify the same way homeowners in Boston or Worcester do.
Lawrence has a split utility setup worth knowing about: National Grid delivers electricity and Eversource delivers gas (Eversource took over the former Columbia Gas of Massachusetts territory in 2020 and runs a local office on Marston Street). Because Mass Save is jointly administered by all the state's investor-owned utilities, the rebate amounts below apply whether your project touches the electric side (heat pumps, EV chargers, smart thermostats) or the gas side (insulation, some water heater work) — you don't need to figure out which utility "owns" a given rebate before applying.
What Lawrence homeowners can claim
Mass Save funds nearly all residential energy rebates across Massachusetts, including Lawrence. All amounts below are in US dollars.
🔥 Heat Pump
$2,650/ton, capped at $8,500 for whole-home systems (partial-home systems can add up to $1,000 in weatherization and sizing bonuses). Income-qualified: up to $16,000 (air-source) or $25,000 (ground-source). Only R-32 or R-454B refrigerant systems qualify — R-410A heat pumps are no longer eligible as of January 1, 2026.
🟫 Insulation & Air Sealing
75% covered for all Lawrence homeowners. Income-eligible households (under 60% AMI) pay $0. Lawrence's housing stock leans heavily on older triple-decker and multi-family buildings from its mill-city era, which often see some of the biggest gains from air sealing.
💨 HRV & Ventilation
Mass Save may cover ventilation when it's needed as part of a weatherization project. Ask during your home energy assessment; we couldn't confirm a standalone amount.
☀️ Solar (SMART 3.0)
Locked-in production payment for a fixed term once enrolled.
🔌 Battery Storage
No upfront Mass Save rebate. ConnectedSolutions pays you each year for letting the utility use your battery at peak times (MassCEC example: about $1,375/yr for a 5 kW battery), plus the SMART storage adder if paired with solar.
🟩 Windows & Doors
$75 per window when you replace single-pane windows with triple-pane windows. Windows & insulation →
🚘 EV Charger
Eversource and National Grid each run their own home EV charger programs; check your utility for current amounts. EV charger rebates →
📋 Home Energy Assessment
No-cost first step (in person, virtual or online). Needed for insulation discounts and helps you qualify for whole-home heat pump rebates.
🔌 Appliances
$500 for an induction cooktop when switching from gas or propane, $50 for an ENERGY STAR dryer, plus washer and fridge recycling offers.

Renting or living in a condo? Here's what actually applies to you
Most of the numbers above assume you own a single-family or multi-family home and control the whole building. Lawrence has a large share of renters and multi-unit triple-deckers, so this section matters for a lot of homeowners here. Here's what changes:
If you rent
You can't claim the heat pump, insulation, or solar rebates — those go to whoever owns the property. The free Mass Save home energy assessment is still worth requesting through your landlord, since it often comes with a free smart thermostat and other no-cost measures. If you want the bigger upgrades done, the ask has to go to your landlord — point them to this page.
If you own a unit in a multi-family building
In-unit upgrades you control yourself — a heat pump water heater, in-unit windows, an in-unit heat pump — can qualify for the Mass Save rebates above, usually with approval from your co-owners for anything touching shared walls, the roof, or exterior systems. Get that approval in writing before your contractor applies.
If it's a whole-building retrofit
Heat pumps, insulation, and solar for the whole building go through Mass Save's multifamily program rather than the single-unit process on this page, and that program handles the paperwork differently. The HEAT Loan and Mass Save's free assessment are both still available — your property manager or the building's owner coordinates the application, not individual unit owners.
