How much you get
Mass Save runs six residential appliance rebates statewide, funded through National Grid for Lawrence 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 Lawrence household
Lawrence's older mill-city apartment buildings were laid out long before anyone planned for a dryer vent, so a heat pump dryer's ability to run without one is a genuinely practical fit, not just a nice-to-have. Lawrence's mill-city housing, densely packed multi-family buildings built for its 19th-century textile workforce, often has laundry crammed into a hallway or basement corner with no route to an exterior wall.
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 — Lawrence doesn't have a Home Depot or Best Buy within city limits, but both are a short drive away in Methuen and North Andover, and both stock qualified models
- Recycle the old appliance through Lawrence's bulk-item collection rather than regular curbside trash
- 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 Lawrence?
Yes. Mass Save funds rebates on ENERGY STAR clothes washers, clothes dryers, heat pump clothes dryers, and refrigerator/freezer recycling for Lawrence residential National Grid customers.
What appliance rebate is worth prioritizing in Lawrence?
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 Lawrence-specific appliance program on top of Mass Save?
No dedicated Lawrence program exists — the rebate available to homeowners here runs through Mass Save and National Grid. Lawrence CommunityWorks runs separate weatherization and home-repair assistance for income-eligible residents, which can stack usefully with this rebate.
Your utility: National Grid
National Grid is Lawrence's electricity distributor and funds the Mass Save appliance rebates through ratepayer efficiency charges. National Grid serves Lawrence, and is the contact if an installer flags a panel or service-capacity issue before adding a new induction range or heat pump dryer circuit in the city's older housing stock. Check the Mass Save appliances page →, City of Lawrence's Department of Planning and Development's energy and sustainability page →, and Lawrence's City of Lawrence trash and recycling rules → before disposing of your old appliance.
