Available State Rebates

New Hampshire

The Public Utilities Commission offers rebates on both residential and commercial/municipalities installs. The program provides a rebate payment of 40% of the system and installation cost of up to $10,000 or $65,000, respectively.

Residential Rebate

Rebate up to a maximum of $10,000, for New Hampshire residents who invest in high-efficiency (80% or greater), bulk-fuel fed, wood-pellet central heating boilers and furnaces. In order to be eligible, the system must be a pellet boiler or furnace functioning as a central heating system. It also must have at least 3 tons of pellet storage and the pellets must be automatically fed from that storage to the furnace or boiler.

Commercial Rebate

Commercial rebate payment of 40% of the heating appliance(s) and installation cost, up to a maximum of $65,000, for investments in non-residential bulk-fuel fed wood pellet boilers and furnaces of 2.5 million BTU or less, that become operational, serving designed intent and installer-certified.

Vermont

Efficiency Vermont offers a rebate of up to a total of $6000 per install when installed by a qualifying installer such as Lyme Green Heat. Installation must be classified as an indoor system and be installed inside. Also, there must be at least one week fuel-storage and automated on/off and fuel feed. Replacement or expansion of existing biomass systems and/or components (including cord wood boilers) and replacement of existing electric heating systems do not qualify.

The CEDF is now offering Vermont home and business owners additional cash incentives to switch from coal to advanced wood heating.

A homeowner who changes out a coal stove or boiler with an eligible pellet stove or central wood heating system can receive up to 50% of the cost (or $10,000, whichever is less) as an incentive from the CEDF, including disposal costs for old coal systems. The added cash incentive is in addition to the existing $3,000 available from the CEDF for a pellet boiler/furnace. New pellet heating systems are also eligible for incentives and financing through Efficiency Vermont. Businesses can receive up to $30,000 toward a coal heating system change-out.

Massachusetts

Through its Go Clean program, MassCEC offers information on the technology, equipment, and installers for modern wood heating. Residents interested in central pellet heating systems for their homes can find more information at this website.
