What Springfield homeowners can claim
Mass Save funds nearly all residential energy rebates across Massachusetts, including Springfield. 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 Springfield homeowners. Income-eligible households (under 60% AMI) pay $0.
💨 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.

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.
