Contact your utility if you have a heat pump and need to apply for this new rate! Most people will be automatically enrolled and will have gotten a message about it within the last few weeks. Woot!
It’s never been a better time to heat with a heat pump! Residential heat pump customers can now sign up for lower electricity rates this winter. We’re thrilled to see the recommendations in our January petition come to life.

DOER’s work and advocacy helped make sure residential heat pump customers can slash their electric bills this winter to save hundreds of dollars each month. Do you or your neighbor have a heat pump? Spread the word! Sign up will be available soon.
Hey Massachusetts! If you have a heat pump, you may be eligible for discounted electricity rates this winter! 🔌
It can be a full or partial home heating system, or a water heater. Pretty much all heat pumps qualify.

DOER staff visited Eversource’s Framingham Networked Geothermal Pilot Project. Networked geothermal is a network of ground-source heat pumps. It pulls the earth’s heat out of the ground to warm buildings in winter, and sends heat into the ground to cool buildings in summer.
