Good fit if...
- You heat with oil or propane and want off delivered fuel
- Your boiler or furnace is old and you are planning a replacement
- You want central cooling too
- You want to qualify for higher rebates tied to replacing fossil fuel heat
- You have an oil tank you would rather not keep
How an install goes
- Assessment. Heat-loss calculation, a look at existing distribution, and often a home energy assessment for weatherization.
- Plan. Ductless, ducted or a mix, plus a separate plan for hot water if the boiler also heats your water.
- Install and decommission. The heat pump is installed; the old system and oil tank are removed or decommissioned under the required permits.
- Rebates. File for the utility rebate, which in some programs is larger when fossil fuel is fully replaced.

Why a heat pump is worth a look
Mass Save says cold-climate heat pumps are 2 to 3 times as efficient as a boiler or furnace and work down to -15°F. Rebates depend on your utility: several North Shore towns have municipal light departments with their own programs.
