MassCEC offered rebates to homeowners who installed qualifying automated wood heating systems. This program is part of MassCEC’s Clean Heating and Cooling program, which supports technologies that provide customer cost-savings and environmental benefits while maintaining a high level of comfort and reliability. As of August 2020, MassCEC is no longer accepting applications for the Residential Automated Wood Heat Program.
Installers should visit the Installer Resources page.
Once your project has received an award letter from MassCEC, your installer can install your Automated Wood Heat System. Once the system is installed, you can submit your project completion documents and MassCEC will send out the rebate check. Installers typically submit completion documents on the homeowner's behalf. With each project completion, MassCEC asks for:
- Project Completion Form
- Photos of the installed system
- OHH Disposal Form (if receiving OHH Rebate Adder)
- Photos of Disposed OHH (if receiving OHH Rebate Adder)
- Electric Bill (If new construction)
