What Massachusetts’s pages say

The Building Performance Association's June 2026 map shows Massachusetts as 'Applied & Funds Awarded' (not launched). Treat as not launched until confirmed on DOER's page. MassCEC's 'Clean Energy Lives Here' site also has no mention of the federal rebates.

The Building Performance Association's June 2026 map, a trade-group source and the only national list since DOE stopped publishing one, lists Massachusetts as “Applied & Funds Awarded (not launched)”. It is the only status we have for Massachusetts, so ask the state energy office before you count on it.

Before you apply

Do you need an audit first?

No rebate open here requires one today, but an audit still shows what to fix first.

HOMES isn’t taking applications in Massachusetts as we last checked. Its rebates are set by modeled energy savings, so whenever it is, projects start with an energy assessment.
Under DOE’s May 29, 2026 rules, insulation and air sealing come before heating and cooling upgrades unless a home already meets a level the state sets, so expect your insulation and air sealing to be checked first.
If your household qualifies for weatherization, the program’s energy audit is part of the service, so there’s no need to pay for one first.
