NORWOOD LIGHT REBATES
*NOTE: Customers who heat their homes with gas now qualify for Mass Save heat pump rebates and are not eligible for this rebate through NMLD.
For customers who do not heat with gas, NMLD provides rebates of $10,000 for air-source heat pumps used as a home’s sole source of heating and $1,250 per ton of capacity for air-source heat pumps used for partial home heating. Whole-home rebates are contingent upon the completion of eligible weatherization improvements identified via a home energy assessment (and NMLD offers a separate weatherization rebate of up to $1,000). In order to be eligible for a rebate through NMLD, the project must adhere to Abode’s review process.
REBATE REQUIREMENTS
In order to be eligible for a rebate through NMLD, the project must adhere to Abode’s review process.
There are three main steps to be aware of:
STEP 1: HOME ENERGY ASSESSMENT
A home energy assessment must be completed within three years prior to heat pump install.
STEP 2: 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.
STEP 3: INSTALL QA FORM
STEP 4: REBATE APPLICATION
The online rebate application must be completed by the homeowner or contractor following install. The form will ask for utility account information and will also require a paid invoice and the installed system’s AHRI certificate(s), all of which can be obtained from the contractor.
STEP 5: WEATHERIZATION (Only Required for Whole-Home Heat Pump Rebate)
| Qualifying Products | Efficiency Requirements |
|---|---|
| Ducted/Ductless Heat Pump | Must be on Mass Save HPQPL |
| Installation Type | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|
| Partial-Home System* | $1,250 per ton |
| Whole-Home System** | $10,000 |
* Requires Home Energy Assessment within the last 3 years
** Requires signed whole-home attestation and completion of weatherization recommendations
