If you’re a Massachusetts homeowner thinking about upgrading your heating and cooling system, here’s your wake-up call. The federal heat pump tax credit worth up to $2,000 is ending December 31, 2025.

When you combine that rebate with Mass Save® incentives,  which can add up to another $10,000 in savings, this is one of the biggest opportunities ever to make your home more efficient and comfortable.

But act fast: qualifying installations, rebate paperwork, and Mass Save® home energy assessments in Boston all take time to complete, and contractor calendars are filling quickly.

The 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (part of the Inflation Reduction Act) lets you claim 30% of your heat pump installation cost, up to $2,000, on your federal taxes.

This credit applies to qualifying cold-climate heat pumps installed before the deadline. You can even claim it annually, for example, a heat pump system this year and a heat pump water heater next year, but the key is that your system must be installed and operational before December 31, 2025.

Here’s how the incentives stack up for Boston-area homeowners who act before the deadline:

Real Savings Example: Many homeowners in Boston and surrounding towns (Newton, Needham, Natick) are claiming $10,000 – $12,000 total in combined incentives when they upgrade through Colt Home Services, a certified Mass Save® contractor.

Upgrading to a ductless heat pump installation in Boston isn’t something you can do overnight. The process includes:

1. Scheduling a Mass Save® home energy assessment (required before rebates).
2. Selecting the right cold-climate heat pump system.
3. Filing rebate paperwork and scheduling installation.

During the busy fall and winter months, contractor availability becomes limited. Many homeowners who wait until November or December won’t be able to complete the process before the rebate deadline.

Plus, the Mass Save® Whole-Home rebate cap is expected to decrease after 2025, so acting now ensures you get maximum savings.

Heat pumps are rapidly becoming the preferred choice for Boston homeowners replacing outdated furnaces or air conditioners. Here’s why:

• Efficient heating and cooling: Moves heat instead of generating it.
• Lower energy bills: Uses up to 65% less energy than oil or gas systems.
• Year-round comfort: One system handles both heating and cooling.
• Cleaner energy: Reduces carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
