GreenEXPO Highlight: New England Solar Hot Water — Saving Energy with Heat Pump Water Heaters

Posted on October 6, 2025 by Armela Gjylsheni

Sunday, October 19, 11am-5pm. Langley Road, Newton Center.

At this year’s GreenEXPO, New England Solar Hot Water (NESHW) is bringing forward-thinking solutions that make clean, efficient home energy a reality for everyone. Based in Canton, Massachusetts, NESHW has spent over a decade helping New Englanders save money and reduce their carbon footprint through advanced heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) and solar thermal systems.

Smarter Hot Water for a Cleaner Future

Heating water typically accounts for 15–20% of a home’s total energy use, and for households using traditional electric or gas systems, that can mean significant emissions and high utility bills. NESHW offers a smarter, cleaner alternative: heat pump water heaters, which can cut energy use for water heating by up to 70% compared to standard electric models.

Instead of generating heat directly, HPWHs work by extracting warmth from the surrounding air—even in cool basements or utility rooms—and transferring it efficiently to the water tank. The result: reliable hot water, dramatically lower energy costs, and a smaller carbon footprint.

Local Experts with Decades of Experience

Founded in 2008, NESHW has built its reputation as one of Massachusetts’ most trusted installers of renewable hot water technologies. Their team specializes in helping homeowners and small businesses choose the most efficient, site-appropriate solution, whether that’s a stand-alone heat pump water heater or a hybrid system combined with solar thermal.

NESHW’s commitment goes beyond installation. They handle incentives, rebates, and permitting from start to finish, ensuring homeowners take full advantage of programs like:

  • Mass Save® rebates, which can offer up to $1,000–$1,500 toward qualifying HPWH installations.

  • Federal tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act, covering up to 30% of project costs until Dec 31st.

  • Local municipal incentives supporting clean home energy upgrades.

What You’ll Find at GreenEXPO

At their GreenEXPO booth, NESHW will showcase how heat pump water heaters fit into the bigger picture of home sustainability. Visitors can expect:

  • Hands-on demonstrations explaining how HPWHs pull heat from the air and store it efficiently.

  • Personalized energy consultations, helping you estimate savings, understand installation logistics, and compare models.

  • Incentive guidance—NESHW’s team stays up-to-date on every available rebate and tax credit to help make your investment pay off quickly.

  • Real-life examples from Massachusetts homeowners who have successfully switched to heat pump water heaters, cutting their energy use and bills in the process.

A Perfect Fit for New England Homes

Heat pump water heaters are particularly well-suited for New England’s climate and housing stock. They perform efficiently even in cooler spaces, dehumidify the surrounding air, and can integrate seamlessly with solar systems—making them a natural complement for future energy upgrades.

NESHW’s expertise ensures each installation is optimized for comfort, reliability, and long-term savings. By pairing technical know-how with genuine customer care, they’re helping communities move closer to Massachusetts’ clean energy goals—one water heater at a time.
