How much you get
A qualifying smart thermostat gets Lawrence homeowners a $100 rebate through Mass Save, and National Grid, the city's electric utility, often installs one free during the home energy assessment. Already own a smart thermostat? You can still submit for the $100 rebate after the purchase.
Usually the easiest rebate to claim in Lawrence
Because the smart thermostat is frequently installed for free right during the assessment visit, this is typically the simplest of Lawrence's Mass Save rebates to actually use — no separate contractor visit or paperwork chase required.

Common questions
How much is the smart thermostat rebate in Lawrence?
$100 through Mass Save, and it's often installed for free during your home energy assessment in Lawrence.
Do I have to buy my own smart thermostat in Lawrence?
Not necessarily. It's frequently installed free during the assessment visit in Lawrence. If you buy your own first, the $100 rebate still covers the cost afterward.
Does National Grid pay extra for a smart thermostat in Lawrence?
Yes. Beyond the $100 Mass Save rebate, National Grid's ConnectedSolutions program pays a $50 enrollment bonus plus roughly $20 a year for a qualifying smart thermostat enrolled in summer demand response.
Your utility: National Grid
National Grid delivers electricity across Lawrence, and it's the utility to reach if your installer needs to check panel capacity in one of the city's older mill-district multifamily buildings. The $100 Mass Save rebate is funded statewide and doesn't change by utility, but National Grid's own ConnectedSolutions program adds a $50 sign-up bonus and about $20 a year on top, just for letting a qualifying smart thermostat ease back a couple degrees during a handful of summer peak-demand afternoons. More on Lawrence's city government site or directly through National Grid's ConnectedSolutions program.
