Mass Save® incentives can cover a real share of your controls project.
Mass Save is the Massachusetts utilities' energy-efficiency program. FMC screens the fit and handles the qualification paperwork, then manages the rebate claim from pre-approval through utility sign-off. Applications are open now; funding is set year by year.
Full retrofits & additions · No up-front paperwork fee · In-house Mass Save liaison
You don't need to learn the Mass Save portal.
We've managed hundreds of these filings. Here's how one goes, from first visit to check in hand.
- 1
Screen the fit
A walkthrough and a review of your past utility bills. We survey the site and rough out the scope, and you get a read on Mass Save eligibility before anything is signed.
You get: a scoping memo with an incentive estimate - 2
Lock in the incentive
We model expected kWh savings against your baseline and submit for pre-approval with your utility. The incentive tier is locked before you sign anything.
You get: utility pre-approval before install starts - 3
Install & commission
Standard energy management system (EMS) work: controllers, sensors, sequences and commissioning, plus the documentation the utility will need to see at the end.
You get: a commissioned system, documented for the claim - 4
Claim & receive
The final measurement-and-verification report goes in. Once the utility signs off, the rebate is issued. You countersign; we prepare the package and follow up with the utility until the check arrives.
You get: the rebate, paid to the customer of record
What tends to qualify.
Mass Save is a catalog of programs, and most commercial and institutional buildings served by a participating Massachusetts utility qualify for at least one of them, industrial ones included. We match the project to the right path and combine paths where program rules allow.
The performance-based path, and the most common one for EMS work: controllers, sensors, programming and commissioning, with the incentive sized to measured energy savings. Includes retrofits replacing pneumatic or older digital (DDC) systems.
For sites with an EMS already in place. Covers re-tuning sequences and fixing drift, with the measured savings documented for the claim. No major capital work required, and some of the best cost-share ratios in the catalog.
A design-phase path for projects beyond code minimum, coordinated with your architect and engineers. The earlier it's filed during design, the more measures can qualify.
A prescriptive program with less paperwork and faster turnaround. Often used for individual stores and offices, and for simpler controls and scheduling upgrades.
Typical cost-share ranges, not a quote. Actual incentive amounts depend on your utility's pre-approval and on measured savings.
We work with utility programs across New England.
Actual incentive amounts depend on your utility's pre-approval and on measured savings. Program availability in your rate class matters too.
