Mass Save incentives and rebates are income based. Check out the income chart to figure out which of the three income categories apply to you. They incentives and rebates may include:

• Insulation: 75%-100% off approved insulation upgrades (and no-cost air sealing improvements) to help improve year-round comfort and cut your heating and cooling costs by an average of 20%
• Heating/Cooling: No cost (for income-eligible residents) and up to $16,000 in rebates for heat pumps that heat and cool your home.
• 0% financing: Up to $50,000 for qualifying projects (depending on the lender and project type)
• No-cost energy-saving products: programmable thermostats, water-saving devices and advanced power strips.

Residents who qualify as low-income (below 60% of the median income in the state) may be eligible for additional programs and utility bill assistance through the Worcester Community Action Council website or by calling 508-754-1176.
