Boston, Massachusetts
Mass Save Heat Pumps in Boston, MA
We install cold-climate heat pumps, ducted or ductless, and take the Mass Save rebate forms and 0% HEAT Loan steps off your hands so the house gets warmer and the paperwork never lands on your kitchen table.
Why the switch feels lighter with us
Forms are our job
Rebate claims, the loan authorization and the documents a lender wants get prepared by us, not left for you.
Numbers before work
You see the equipment, the cost, the expected rebate and the financed figure on paper before a date goes on the calendar.
Built for Boston winters
Cold-climate units chosen to keep producing heat when the wind comes off the harbor.
One system, two seasons
The same heat pump that warms the house in winter cools it in summer.
Old heat handled right
Your boiler or furnace is removed, disconnected or set up as backup the way the program expects.
Heat Pump Work, Start to Finish
Most people who call us already know they want off oil or off an old gas boiler, and what holds them back is the pile of program steps between here and a finished install. Each of these services is a piece of clearing that pile, and most jobs use more than one.
Heat Pump Installation
Whole-house or zone systems, ducted or ductless, laid out from an actual heat loss calculation and finished with testing and a proper run-through of the thermostat or remotes.
Mass Save Rebate Help
We work out what the house qualifies for, get the assessment and any weatherization in the right order, pick equipment that meets the program list and file the rebate paperwork with you.
0% HEAT Loan Financing
Our proposal and the program authorization form go to the bank or credit union you pick, so the 0% HEAT Loan can cover what the rebate does not.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Indoor heads for the brownstone floor with radiators, the attic bedroom, the addition or the triple-decker apartment that has never had ducts and never will.
Oil & Gas Heating Replacement
Old oil, propane or gas equipment taken out of service or rewired as a deep-cold backup, with the heat pump designed to carry the house in its place.
Six Steps, and We Carry Most of Them
You call, we listen
Tell us the house type, how it heats today, who your utility is and what you want fixed. A few minutes on the phone tells us a lot about which programs are in reach.
Eligibility gets checked
We run your situation against the rebate and HEAT Loan requirements. If the house has not had a Home Energy Assessment, we tell you how to get one, and it costs you nothing.
We measure the house
Someone comes out to size up rooms, windows, insulation and the existing equipment, because the design comes from heat loss and not from the label on the old boiler.
The proposal and the loan
You get the whole picture on paper: what goes in, what it costs, the rebate you can expect and how much you might borrow. If you want the HEAT Loan, our proposal and the authorization form go to the participating lender you choose.
Install day
The crew sets outdoor and indoor units, runs line sets neatly, installs controls and removes, disconnects or ties in the old system as the plan says.
Startup and the last forms
Each zone gets run and checked, you get shown how the thermostat or remotes work, and we close out the rebate claim and loan file so nothing trails behind after the van leaves.
What You Get When We Do the Job
Plenty of outfits can hang a heat pump on a wall. The difference shows up in the sizing, in what happens to the old system, in how the house looks when the crew leaves and in who ends up doing the paperwork.
Sizing that starts with your rooms
We calculate how much heat each room actually loses and pick equipment to match, rather than swapping in whatever size the old furnace was. That is how you avoid cold corners and units that cycle all day.
Backup heat set up the way the program wants
Retiring the boiler means pulling it or cutting it off for good. Keeping it means wiring integrated controls so the heat pump shoulders nearly everything and the boiler wakes up only on the bitterest nights, which is what the rebate rules ask for.
Clean, careful installs
Line sets run straight and covered, floors protected while we work, debris hauled away, and before we go, a full tour of every switch and setting so nothing on the wall is a mystery.
Rebate and loan paperwork off your desk
Program claim forms, the HEAT Loan steps and whatever your bank requests get drafted by our office. You review and sign, and we keep the file moving.
Boston Neighborhoods and the Cities Around Them
Boston's housing is old and it is varied: triple-deckers in Dorchester, brick rowhouses in the South End, two-families in Roslindale and East Boston, capes and colonials out toward West Roxbury and Hyde Park. A lot of it still runs on oil or on gas boilers feeding radiators, which is exactly where heat pumps and the Mass Save programs pay off. We work across Suffolk County and into the cities that border it, and every house gets the same sizing, the same written numbers and the same help with the forms.
Triple-deckers and two-families
Every apartment can have its own condenser outside and its own heads indoors, with separate controls so one floor's thermostat setting never fights another's.
Rowhouses and tight lots
Where there is no side yard, outdoor units go on brackets, roofs or rear decks, placed with snow, sound and the neighbors in mind.
Utilities that open the door
Power and gas in Boston and the nearby cities we serve come from Mass Save utilities, which normally puts the rebate and HEAT Loan within reach. We confirm your account first.

Straight Answers to Common Heat Pump Questions
Nearly every caller raises a few of these. Missing yours? Ring and ask.
Which equipment counts for Mass Save incentives?
Only cold-climate heat pumps that appear on the program's qualifying list count, and they have to be installed to the program's requirements. We only propose equipment that fits those rules, and the proposal names the exact models so you can see it before you sign.
What size heat pump does an old Boston house need?
We do a heat loss calculation room by room, looking at square footage, ceiling height, windows, insulation and air leaks. Older Boston houses often lose heat unevenly, so the top floor and the corner rooms get their own attention. The old boiler's size tells us almost nothing, so we do not copy it.
Do heat pumps make sense in a triple-decker or two-family?
Yes, and these buildings are some of the best candidates around. Each unit can have its own system and controls, which works well for owners who live on one floor and rent the others. We plan where the outdoor units go so they fit the porches, yard or roof.
How long does the install take?
Honestly, that comes down to scope. Putting one ductless head in a back bedroom is a far lighter lift than outfitting every floor of a triple-decker or hanging a new ducted air handler in the attic. Your proposal spells out the schedule, including any weatherization that has to come first. We tell you plainly what to expect on each day the crew is there.
What upkeep does a heat pump need?
Mostly simple things. Indoor filters should be rinsed or changed regularly, the outdoor unit should be kept clear of snow, leaves and ice, and condensate lines should drain freely. A periodic professional cleaning of coils and drains keeps the system running the way it did on day one.
My town has its own municipal light plant. Does Mass Save apply?
In a light plant town, Mass Save electric heat pump rebates generally do not apply, because the light plant runs its own program. Boston and the cities around it are served by Mass Save utilities instead, so Mass Save's rebate and loan programs usually apply here. We confirm your utility on the first call.
How big a rebate could a 2026 install earn?
Up to $8,500 is on offer in 2026 when heat pumps warm the entire house, calculated on tonnage. Reaching that figure takes three things: weatherization to the standard your Home Energy Assessment sets, cold-climate equipment on the program's qualifying list, and full-time occupancy straight through winter. Partial-home systems earn smaller rebates.
Should I count on anything beyond Mass Save to pay for this?
Build your budget on Mass Save: its rebate and its 0% HEAT Loan are what we put into the numbers for a 2026 install. Income-eligible households may also qualify for Mass Save's enhanced track. We do not pencil in any other incentive unless it clearly applies to you.
Can I get a heat pump if the house has no ductwork?
Yes. Ductless mini-splits were made for houses with radiators or baseboard, and they need only a small opening through the wall for each line set. Every head serves one room or open area, which gives you zoned comfort without framing in a single duct.
Will my electric bill go up once I am off oil?
Your electric bill will rise because the heating moves to electricity, while the oil deliveries stop. Whether the total heating spend drops for you hinges on your rates, your insulation and how carefully the equipment is matched to the house. We go over your actual bills with you so you can see the trade before you decide.
Installers Who Also Do the Paperwork
HVAC Financing Boston was built around one idea: the hard part of going electric is not the heat pump, it is the program steps around it. So we install the system and we carry the rebate forms, the loan paperwork and the explanations, and we tell you the truth about what the house needs.
