HRI/AHRI Numbers

To claim your rebate, your unit must be listed on the Mass Save Heat Pump Qualified Product List (HPQPL). This approved list includes only equipment that meets current efficiency standards (e.g., Cold‑Climate ENERGY STAR rated, SEER2/HSPF2 compliant). Each product entry on the list includes its AHRI (HRI) reference number, which you'll need to include on your rebate application

📝 How to Apply

  1. Schedule a Mass Save Home Energy Assessment (free).

  2. Choose a Mass Save‑participating contractor and select an approved heat pump by verifying the HRI/AHRI number on the HPQPL.

  3. Complete installation with weatherization requirements for whole-home systems.

  4. Fill out the rebate form, noting the HRI/AHRI reference number, contractor certification, and all required documents.

  5. Submit within 60 days of installation, then expect your rebate check in 10–12 weeks

What this means…

Rebates are based on the size of the heat pump system, measured in tons (a standard unit in HVAC — 1 ton = the ability to cool or heat about 12,000 BTUs per hour, enough for ~500–600 sq ft).

  • If you install a whole-home system, you get $3,000 per ton, up to a maximum of $10,000.

  • For partial-home systems (like supplementing existing heat), it's $1,250 per ton, also up to $10,000.

  • Income-qualified households may get up to $16,000, regardless of system size.

So, the bigger your system (in tons), the more you can potentially get back — up to the rebate cap.
