Light plant and gas-side programs
Rebate Help for Lynnfield Heat Pump Projects
Electric incentives here run through the light plant, a gas account may unlock more, and we pin down what fits before anything gets filed.
Why Your Light Plant Changes the Math
Plenty of heat pump advertising glosses over this. Homes in Lynnfield get electricity from a municipal light plant, the Reading Municipal Light Department or the Peabody Municipal Light Plant depending on the street, and municipal light plants sit outside the Mass Save electric rebate program. Each operates its own heat pump incentives, with its own amounts, equipment lists, deadlines and paperwork. Mass Save still matters, though. Where National Grid or Eversource delivers natural gas to the house, that gas account can open gas-side Mass Save programs, among them the no-cost Home Energy Assessment and, in some cases, the 0% HEAT Loan. Step one, then, is mapping which programs belong to your address. Who sends the electric bill? Who sends the gas bill, if one exists? Does the light plant want particular equipment, or a sign-off before work begins? Should an assessment or insulation come first? We answer all of that before writing the proposal, so the system we recommend is one the incentive will truly cover. After that, the paperwork is ours. Model and serial numbers, invoices, photos, proof of completion, whatever a program requests. You sign where a signature is required, and we track every file until it is processed.
Inside Our Incentive Help
Forms shift with each program and each year. The groundwork underneath barely changes.

Mass Save offers reachable through a National Grid or Eversource gas account, reviewed against your situation.
Assessment coordination
Where it applies, we book the no-cost Home Energy Assessment and decode its insulation and air sealing list.

Filing and follow-through
