What's specific to Quincy

The Wollaston Hill Local Historic District contains over 300 Colonial Revival, Shingle Style, and Queen Anne single-family homes built 1880–1920 as a streetcar-era suburb on the hill above Wollaston Beach. Squantum and Marina Bay add coastal single-families exposed to salt air, which favors coastal-rated coil coatings on outdoor condensers. North Quincy has denser multifamily housing.

Quincy climate & sizing

South Weymouth NAS (nearest ASHRAE station) reads 10.4°F. Coastal salt air affects outdoor unit corrosion specs for installs near the water; design winter is comparable to Boston otherwise.

99% winter design temperature: 10.4°F (South Weymouth NAS — 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 Quincy is administered through National Grid. 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: Boston Gas Company d/b/a National Grid.

Residential HVAC permits in Quincy are issued by the Inspectional Services Department, Building Division, 55 Sea Street DPW Complex.

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

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.
