Mass Save lists $13,500 for a qualifying 2026 whole-home ground-source system, $2,000 per ton up to $13,500 for partial-home projects, and income-based support up to $25,000. The system must meet program, weatherization, equipment, contractor and timing requirements. Alternative Energy Certificates, sales-tax treatment and HEAT Loan financing are separate considerations rather than automatic cash. The federal residential credit is unavailable for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025.
Massachusetts climate, ground conditions, and permits
Massachusetts heating loads, bedrock, dense-lot access and existing hydronic distribution can materially change a project. MassDEP says compliant closed-loop and direct-exchange systems do not require UIC registration when they follow the guidelines and produce no water, but local Boards of Health and municipal building, electrical, plumbing or mechanical rules still apply. Open-loop designs follow a different groundwater review path.
