STEP 2
Work with a participating contractor to determine if a heat pump is right for you.
OPTIONAL STEP 3
Optionally, your contractor submits a pre-approval project application to Abode to verify equipment rebate eligibility. This step is highly recommended for whole-home heat pump projects.
STEP 4
Your new heating and cooling system is installed.
STEP 5
Your contractor submits a post-install form to Abode with documentation of the completed install. We review the submission for install quality and rebate eligibility.

BRAINTREE ELECTRIC REBATES
The qualifying equipment and rebate application process between BELD’s program and the Mass Save program are different, so please be sure to familiarize yourself with the eligibility requirements before installing any equipment.
REBATE REQUIREMENTS
In order to qualify for a rebate, an outdoor condenser unit must be installed on a stand providing at least 12" of ground clearance to the base of the condenser unit (unless the unit is adequately shielded against snowfall from the top and sides).
In order to be eligible for a rebate through Braintree Electric Light Department, the project must adhere to Abode’s review process.
There are three main requirements to be aware of:
PRE-APPROVAL FORM (OPTIONAL)
Optionally, the Pre-Approval form can be completed by the contractor prior to installation. Once you have decided on a contractor and heat pump proposal to move forward with, if you would like to confirm eligibility for rebates prior to install, your installer can submit the Optional Pre-Approval Form. This form includes equipment information for the proposed heat pump system(s). Abode will verify whether the equipment meets the efficiency requirements to qualify for the MLP's rebate.
If you have multiple proposals and have not decided yet on a single proposal, rather than submitting multiple pre-approvals, we ask that you instead submit a "Quote Review" to Abode; see above for consultation offerings to submit quotes.
INSTALL QA FORM
The Install QA Form must be completed after install by the contractor. In addition to requiring information on the home and the installed system(s), the form also requires a paid invoice and photos of the installed equipment.
ABODE REVIEW
Once Abode has received the two forms from the contractor, we will review the install and provide documentation to BELD to process the customer’s rebate. No additional action is needed by the customer or contractor unless Abode reaches out directly to request additional information.
QUALIFYING PRODUCTS
Ductless mini-split cooling-only units are not eligible. Tons are calculated based on AHRI cooling capacity (95F) divided by 12,000 BTUs. This value can be found on the AHRI certificate. Rebate amount based on tons.
| Qualifying Products | Rebate Amount (Gas Heating Customers) | Rebate Amount (Non-Gas Heating Customers) | Efficiency Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ducted/Ductless Heat Pump | $750 per ton up to $4,500 | $1,250 per ton up to $7,500 | Must be on NEEP ccASHP List |
