Rebates

Air source heat pumps offer a more efficient and intelligent solution to maintain year-round comfort in your home.

Air source heat pumps capture heat from the outside air and transfer it into your home. In warmer months, this process reverses to provide cooling.

Both ducted and ductless options (often called mini-splits) are available, making them ideal for homes with or without existing ductwork.

Additionally, homeowners can benefit from federal tax credits to reduce the cost of purchasing and installing an air source heat pump. Income-eligible customers may also qualify for larger discounts and no-cost installation options.

In 2025, C&C Air Solutions ofers heat pump rebates of up to $10,000 for whole home installations and up to $10,000 for partial home installations. There is an income-based enhanced incentive of up to $16,000.

To qualify for our rebates, applicants must be residents of Massachusetts. Only individuals who currently reside in the state are eligible for these offers.

Rebates are based on whether the heat pump system will be serving the whole-home or partial-home.

Whole-home rebates are available to customers who install heat pumps as the sole source of heating and cooling. See the Whole-Home Heat Pump Verification Form for details.

Partial-home rebates are offered based on equipment size (tonnage) to customers who plan to keep an existing boiler or furnace in place to supplement a new heat pump system.
