How much you get
Mass Save runs six residential appliance rebates statewide, funded through National Grid for Brockton customers. You must be replacing an existing electric appliance with a new ENERGY STAR certified unit — these are swap rebates, not rebates for adding an appliance where none existed before.
ENERGY STAR clothes dryer (incl. heat pump)
ENERGY STAR clothes washer
ENERGY STAR electric clothes dryer
Refrigerator/freezer recycling
Induction cooktop / range
Home energy assessment
Mass Save's fridge and freezer offer is a recycling program with pickup of your old, working unit, not a purchase rebate — check the current reward on masssave.com before you schedule. The biggest appliance rebate is for induction: $500 when you switch from a gas or propane stove (MassCEC, checked September 26, 2026). None of these rebates cover the full price of the appliance.
Buying the right appliance for a Brockton household
Brockton's older triple-deckers, many dating to the city's shoe-manufacturing boom, weren't built around modern dryer venting, which is exactly the gap a heat pump dryer closes. Brockton's housing mixes triple-deckers from its shoe-manufacturing era with post-war single-family homes further from downtown, so venting access varies a lot by neighborhood.
A heat pump dryer is worth planning around if your current dryer is on its way out. These units condense moisture internally instead of exhausting hot air outdoors, so many don't need an exterior vent at all, and they run on roughly half the electricity of a standard resistance dryer because they recycle heat instead of wasting it. The tradeoff is real: cycles typically run 20 to 40 minutes longer than a conventional dryer. Browse heat pump dryers at Home Depot →
Induction cooking is worth considering too if you're replacing a range. Induction heats the pan directly through a magnetic field rather than heating an element first, so water boils faster and the cooktop surface stays cooler, a real safety advantage in a household with kids. The catch is cookware: induction needs magnetic pots and pans, generally cast iron or certain stainless steel, so an all-aluminum or all-copper set won't work without swapping a few pieces.

Not every appliance carrying an ENERGY STAR label clears Mass Save's bar for the higher rebate tiers — ENERGY STAR Most Efficient models qualify for more than standard ENERGY STAR units on some categories, so check the current qualified product list before buying rather than assuming the label alone is enough. Worth saying plainly: this rebate is for replacing an electric appliance already in your home, not for adding one where there wasn't one before. If your current fridge or washer still works fine, the smaller rebate amounts here rarely justify swapping it out ahead of schedule.
How to claim it
- Purchase your appliance from any retailer — Brockton has a Home Depot right on Westgate Drive and a Best Buy at the Westgate Mall, both stocking qualified models
- Recycle the old appliance through Brockton's bulk-item pickup program instead of leaving it at the curb on trash day
- Apply online at masssave.com with your dated receipt, or claim the instant discount at checkout for induction cooktops and ranges where offered

Common questions
Are appliance rebates available in Brockton?
Yes. Mass Save funds rebates on ENERGY STAR clothes washers, clothes dryers, heat pump clothes dryers, and refrigerator/freezer recycling for Brockton residential National Grid customers.
What appliance rebate is worth prioritizing in Brockton?
If you cook with gas or propane, the $500 induction cooktop rebate is the largest appliance rebate. A heat pump dryer only gets the $50 ENERGY STAR dryer rebate, but it can cut drying energy roughly in half compared to a standard electric dryer.
Is there a Brockton-specific appliance program on top of Mass Save?
No separate city program exists — Brockton homeowners get the same Mass Save appliance rebate as the rest of the state, funded through National Grid. Self Help Inc. runs separate weatherization assistance for income-eligible households in the area, worth checking alongside this rebate.
Your utility: National Grid
National Grid is Brockton's electricity distributor and funds the Mass Save appliance rebates through ratepayer efficiency charges. National Grid serves Brockton, and is the contact if your triple-decker's electrical panel needs a capacity check before adding a new induction range or heat pump dryer circuit. Check the Mass Save appliances page →, City of Brockton's Department of Planning and Economic Development's energy and sustainability page →, and Brockton's Brockton Department of Public Works recycling rules → before disposing of your old appliance.
