HINGHAM MUNICIPAL LIGHT REBATES
*NOTE: Customers who heat their homes with gas now qualify for Mass Save heat pump rebates and are not eligible for this rebate through HMLP.
The qualifying equipment and rebate application process between HMLP’s program and the Mass Save program are different, so please be sure to familiarize yourself with the eligibility requirements before installing any equipment.
REBATE REQUIREMENTS
In order to qualify for a rebate, an outdoor condenser unit must be installed on a stand providing at least 12" of ground clearance to the base of the condenser unit (unless the unit is adequately shielded against snowfall from the top and sides).
For non-gas-heating customers, in order to be eligible for a rebate through HMLP, the project must adhere to Abode’s review process.
There are five main requirements to be aware of:
HOME ENERGY ASSESSMENT
PRE-APPROVAL FORM (OPTIONAL)
Optionally, the Pre-Approval form can be completed by the contractor prior to installation. Once you have decided on a contractor and heat pump proposal to move forward with, if you would like to confirm eligibility for rebates prior to install, your installer can submit the Optional Pre-Approval Form. This form includes equipment information for the proposed heat pump system(s). Abode will verify whether the equipment meets the efficiency requirements to qualify for the MLP's rebate.
If you have multiple proposals and have not decided yet on a single proposal, rather than submitting multiple pre-approvals, we ask that you instead submit a "Quote Review" to Abode; see above for consultation offerings to submit quotes.
ELECTRICAL PERMITS
The contractor must file for the relevant electrical permit(s) through the Town of Hingham’s Building Department by calling 781-741-1420.
INSTALL QA FORM
The Install QA Form must be completed after install by the contractor. In addition to requiring information on the home and the installed system(s), the form also requires a paid invoice and photos of the installed equipment.
REBATE APPLICATION
The online rebate application must be completed by the homeowner following install. The form will ask for your utility account information and will also require a copy of the Abode Quality Assurance Form provided after approval, a paid invoice, and the installed system’s AHRI certificate(s).
QUALIFYING PRODUCTS
-
The HVAC industry is transitioning away from R410A refrigerants and to A2L refrigerants, like R-454B and R-32, to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. Hover for details.
Beginning January 1, 2026, the EPA ruling prohibits the installation of new HVAC systems with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) >700. The Mass Save Heat Pump Qualified Product List will be removing any R410 refrigerants to align with the new standard. Similarly, all systems selected using the NEEP ccASHP Qualified Product List must be selected using the “All A2L” or other A2L refrigerant selection (e.g., R-454B, R-32) to align with EPA's new transition rule. Models with R410A refrigerant will no longer be eligible for rebates when installed on or after January 1, 2026. Invoices for installations using R410A refrigerants will need to list an install date of December 31, 2025 or before to qualify for a rebate.
| Qualifying Products | Rebate Amount | Efficiency Requirements | ||
| Ducted/Ductless Heat Pump | $750 per ton* up to $4,500 | Must be on NEEP ccASHP List | ||
| * 1 ton = 12,000 Btu cooling capacity at 95°F | ||||
INCENTIVE ADDERS
Weatherization
– $500 weatherization adder if completing insulation along with heat pumps (in addition to the standard weatherization rebate, which is 50% of insulation project costs up to $1,000)
Whole-Home Heat Pumps
– $1,000 adder for whole-home systems; residents must attest on the rebate application that their new heat pump system will heat 100% of their building’s load for the entire year, without any use of the pre-existing fossil fuel heating system.
