0% interest when you qualify
HEAT Loan Financing Help in Wakefield
Finance a heat pump at 0% interest when your accounts qualify. Eligibility gets checked first; the proposal and forms follow.
The HEAT Loan in Plain Terms
Under the Mass Save HEAT Loan, a homeowner can finance up to $25,000 at 0% interest for heat pumps, weatherization and heat pump water heaters, with the money coming from participating banks and credit unions. The program has a few firm steps. First, a Mass Save utility account has to be attached to the house. A contractor writes a proposal for the work. An authorization form is completed and taken to a participating lender, who makes its own approval decision. After the work is finished, an inspection confirms it was done as proposed. In Wakefield the first step needs care, because the town light department supplies electricity and also much of the gas, and neither is a Mass Save utility. That means the HEAT Loan is not automatic here. It may still be possible for a home whose gas is billed by National Grid or Eversource. Your bills tell us where you stand, before anyone spends time on paperwork. If the loan fits, we prepare a proposal that clearly lists the equipment, the price and the amount to be financed, fill in the authorization form with you and explain what the lender will ask for. We never promise approval or quote payment terms, because the lender sets those. What you can count on is a clear explanation of every step ahead of time.
