Air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) and ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are cleaner alternatives to traditional heating and cooling systems. Both technologies leverage existing heat rather than generate it, which allows them to deliver more energy than they consume. You can benefit from lower energy bills and year-round comfort from a single system that provides both heating and cooling.
Several federal tax credits authorized under the Inflation Reduction Act expired at the end of 2025, including for heat pumps. However, remaining state incentives can help reduce the cost of installing and running a heat pump.
- Rebates from Mass Save can help offset the upfront costs of installation.
