Take advantage of Massachusetts incentives and tax credits.

Massachusetts and Mass Save still have great rebates and incentives. Now, more than ever, it is important to celebrate and support the Massachusetts clean energy and climate goals and incentives.

Federal Incentives Cancelled. Unfortunately, due to the budget passed by the U.S. Congress in July 2025, almost all residential federal clean energy tax credits and direct payments expired as of Dec. 31, 2025. Federal tax credits for solar, battery storage, wind power, and ground source and air source heat pumps have expired, along with additional incentives for heat pump hot water heaters, insulation, windows, home energy upgrades, and more. Electric vehicle subsidies already ended on Sept. 30, 2025.

But take heart! Many amazing state and Mass Save rebates and incentives offer equal or greater savings than the former federal programs, especially in terms of home heating and cooling.

Please remember, incentives have a way of changing frequently!
