What's specific to Brockton

Brockton's Campello village contains a concentration of Campanelli ranches and 1940s–1950s Cape Cods built on small lots near the Campello commuter rail station, alongside the South Street local Historic District. Older multifamily clusters near downtown Brockton add to a varied mid-20th-century stock; basements suitable for an air handler make ducted heat pump systems viable here, unlike in dense triple-decker cities.

Brockton climate & sizing

Plymouth Municipal (nearest ASHRAE station) reads 9.7°F — Brockton's South Shore climate is moderated slightly by coastal proximity but still requires cold-climate heat pump certification.

99% winter design temperature: 9.7°F (Plymouth Municipal — nearest ASHRAE 2009 station). Heat-pump capacity at this temperature is the number to validate when reviewing a Manual J load calculation.

Mass Save sponsor & utility

Mass Save in Brockton is administered through National Grid (electric) and Eversource (gas). That sponsor processes your heat pump rebate (up to $8,500 standard in 2026, up to $16,000 enhanced for income-qualified households) and the HEAT Loan referral. See the full sponsor directory to verify your account.

Note: Eversource Gas of Massachusetts (formerly Columbia Gas of MA — acquired by Eversource Oct 2020). Many older sources and local lore still call it "Columbia Gas.".

Permits & historic review in Brockton

Residential HVAC permits in Brockton are issued by the Brockton Building Department. Gas work requires a separately-pulled gas permit; your licensed installer files both. Full per-city permit fees, inspection process, and timelines: Brockton HVAC permits guide.

The Brockton Historical Commission maintains the local-historic Perkins Avenue District; most of the city has no architectural review for exterior HVAC.

Whole-Home Heat Pump Rebate

$2,650 /ton

Capped at $8,500 per home

The installed heat pump must be the sole source of heating and cooling for the spaces served. Equipment must be ENERGY STAR Cold Climate certified and listed on the Mass Save Heat Pump Qualified Products List (HPQPL). A Manual J load calculation is needed to qualify for the sizing bonus and is industry-standard practice on Mass Save projects.

Partial-Home / Supplemental Heat Pump Rebate

$1,125 /ton

Capped at $8,500 per home

Heat pump installed alongside an existing primary heating system. Equipment must be on the HPQPL. Lower per-ton rebate reflects supplemental rather than sole-source use.

Basic Heat Pump Rebate

$250 /ton

Capped at $2,500 per home

New for 2026. Applies to replacing an existing heat pump with a new qualified HPQPL-listed heat pump, or conditioning a previously unconditioned space.

+

$500 Right-Sized Equipment Bonus Partial-home

Partial-home installs only. Equipment must be sized to meet 90–120% of the total heating load at the outdoor design temperature, documented via an ACCA Manual J load calculation submitted with the rebate application.

+

$500 Weatherization Bonus Partial-home

Partial-home installs only. Requires a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment plus installation of the recommended weatherization (typically air sealing and insulation) within one year prior to or up to six months after the heat pump installation.

Financing

Mass Save HEAT Loan

0% APR up to $25,000

  • Below 135% of State Median Income: 7 years (84 months)
  • 135%–300% of State Median Income: 5 years (60 months)
  • Over 300% of State Median Income: 3 years (36 months)

Subject to bank underwriting through participating Massachusetts lenders. Covers equipment + installation costs for qualifying high-efficiency upgrades (heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, insulation, water heaters). Households below approximately 81% SMI typically route to Mass Save's no-cost / enhanced-rebate programs rather than the HEAT Loan.

No federal heat pump tax credit applies in 2026.

  • Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (heat pump portion) (30% of cost up to $2,000 annually for qualifying heat pump installations (inflation reduction act expansion)) ended for property placed in service after 2025-12-31 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21).
  • Section 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit (geothermal portion) (30% of installed cost for ground-source (geothermal) heat pumps, with no dollar cap) ended for property placed in service after 2025-12-31 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21).

Status as of 2026-05-27: neither 25C nor 25D has been reinstated or replaced by Congress. Pending bills (e.g. H.R. 616) have not advanced. Pre-2026 §25D installs may carry forward unused credits.

Rebate amounts and eligibility verified 2026-05-27 against primary program documentation. We re-check before any publish.
