Short answer: Springfield is an Eversource city, so homeowners here get Mass Save's statewide rebates. To use them, book a no-cost Home Energy Assessment first. Then use the 75–100% insulation discount, and apply for a heat pump rebate of $2,650 per ton, up to $8,500. Income-qualified households can get up to $16,000, or no cost. Spread the rest over up to 7 years with the 0% HEAT Loan (up to $25,000). Nearby Chicopee, Holyoke and Westfield run their own town electric utilities, so Mass Save's electric rebates don't apply there.
Mass Save funds nearly all residential energy rebates across Massachusetts, including Springfield. All amounts below are in US dollars.
Open
🔥 Heat Pump
Up to $8,500
$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.
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.
Locked-in production payment for a fixed term once enrolled.

🔌 Battery Storage
ConnectedSolutions pay-for-performance
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.

Springfield-specific programs
Like Worcester, Springfield is a designated Equity Community under Mass Save — renters can get enhanced, often no-cost, weatherization and electrification help (ask Mass Save what applies to your building). Homeowners still follow the standard Mass Save tiers above, but Springfield renters get broader access than most of the state.
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. That's not every Springfield homeowner. Here's what changes:
If you rent
Springfield's Equity Community status (above) means all renters here, regardless of income, qualify for free weatherization and electrification services — not the usual income-qualified-only rule elsewhere in the state. Start with the free Mass Save home energy assessment; it also often comes with a free smart thermostat.
If you own a condo unit
In-unit upgrades you control yourself — a heat pump water heater, in-suite windows, an in-unit heat pump — can qualify for the Mass Save rebates above, usually with your condo association's approval for anything touching shared walls 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 the condo association as a group decision, and Mass Save's multi-family program handles the paperwork rather than the single-unit process on this page. The HEAT Loan and Mass Save's free assessment are both still available — your association or property manager coordinates the application, not individual owners.
Rebate finder: every Mass Save program in Springfield, by category.
These are the real, current Mass Save amounts shown on our Springfield category pages — the same statewide program, not a Springfield-only deal. The whole-home heat pump ceiling is $8,500 in 2026, down from $10,000 in 2024, and regulators trimmed the 2025–2027 Mass Save budget by $500 million, and Mass Save has documented processing delays, so treat these as caps to plan around, not guaranteed instant payouts. Filter by category below.

Only R-32 or R-454B refrigerant systems qualify as of January 1, 2026 — older R-410A units are no longer eligible. Same statewide, not just Springfield.

Amounts are Mass Save program-wide figures and apply the same whether you're an Eversource or National Grid customer — we checked a sample of Springfield and other Massachusetts city pages and found no utility-level variance in these headline caps. Processing can take 5–7 months end to end; see your Springfield heat pump page for the full application timeline.
