NHSaves Rebate Programs

Mass Save Program FAQ

NHSaves Heat Pumps & Central Air Conditioners

This program offers rebates to customers who use energy-efficient air-source heat pumps, central air conditioners, and Wi-Fi thermostats. The rebates are available to Eversource, Liberty, and Unitil Electric customers, as well as New Hampshire Electric Cooperative members, who use a qualified heat pump, ENERGY STAR-certified central air conditioner, or Wi-Fi thermostat installed with a qualified heat pump. Other requirements include:

• You must be a residential electric customer of a participating New Hampshire utility company.
• The heat pump water heater needs to be installed within the service area of that same participating utility company.
• The heater must meet the minimum efficiency standards set by the program.
• The installation must take place between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.
• Remember to submit your rebate application (including required documents) by postmark no later than January 31, 2025.

The rebates offered are for a limited time and only available while funding lasts. The program terms are subject to change at any time. It's important to note that if you've already received equipment incentives for the same item through a different energy efficiency program offered by your electric company, you won't be eligible for this program's rebate.

NHSaves Heat Pump Water Heaters

Heat pump water heaters are a game-changer in terms of energy efficiency. Unlike traditional electric water heaters that generate heat directly, heat pumps use electricity to cleverly move heat from one place to another. This innovative technology translates to significant energy savings, with the Department of Energy estimating them to be up to four times more efficient than conventional models. Their energy efficiency makes them eligible for rebates under the NHSaves program. To qualify for the heat pump water heater rebate:

• Your heater must be ENERGY STAR® certified and meet minimum efficiency standards.
• You need to be an electric customer of a participating New Hampshire utility company.
• The purchase needs to be made between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024. (This is a limited-time offer!)
• Submit your rebate application (online or by mail) by January 31, 2025.
• You cannot receive incentives for this heater from another program.

Finding a qualified heater:

• Talk to a licensed contractor for recommendations on ENERGY STAR-certified heat pump water heaters.
• Alternatively, visit the ENERGY STAR website to find a list of local installers.

• On-Demand Tankless Water Heater: This space-saving heater heats water only when you turn on the tap, eliminating standby energy loss.
