Everything on the Checklist for a Heat Pump Switch
Getting a house ready for winter on a heat pump involves a handful of moving parts. Equipment. Incentives. Financing. The old system. We keep them in order and on schedule, and each one below links to the details.
Heat Pump Installation
Built-for-winter equipment, whether it rides existing ducts or hangs on a wall, laid out from a heat-loss calculation of your rooms. Installed, charged, tested and handed over with a short lesson on the thermostats.
Mass Save Rebate Help
Peabody power comes from the Peabody Municipal Light Plant, which keeps its own heat pump incentive. We confirm which programs your accounts reach, including Mass Save offers tied to a gas account, and keep the forms moving.
0% HEAT Loan Financing
0% interest through participating banks and credit unions, possible when the household holds a Mass Save utility account, often the gas one. We verify that, then assemble the proposal and authorization form.
Ductless Mini-Splits
Compact heads for homes heated by radiators or baseboard, and for finished basements, sunrooms and upstairs rooms that lag behind the thermostat.
Oil & Gas Heating Replacement
Moving off oil, propane or gas for good. Afterward the boiler or furnace is hauled away, cut off or left in place as a controlled backup, whichever the plan calls for.
Six Dated Steps From Phone Call to Warm House
The call
We note the house, the current fuel, your electric and gas providers and the date you would like to be done by. Then we explain which steps apply and roughly how long each takes.
Program check
Light plant rules, any gas-side Mass Save options and HEAT Loan eligibility reviewed against your accounts. If a Home Energy Assessment should come first, it goes on the calendar now.
Site visit
Rooms measured, insulation and windows noted, ductwork and the old equipment inspected. That data becomes a heat-loss design rather than a rough guess.
Written proposal
Equipment, installed price, the incentive we expect and any financing amount, all on one document. A participating lender handles the loan application when it applies.
Install days
Outdoor unit, indoor equipment, refrigerant lines and controls, plus removal, disconnection or tie-in of the old system as planned.
Startup and closeout
Pressure and charge tests, a controls tour, then the incentive and loan paperwork completed and filed on your behalf so nothing lingers into the new year.
Planned So Winter Finds the House Ready
A heat pump only earns its keep if it works on the worst night of January and the paperwork does not drag on for months. These three habits keep both on track.
Equipment rated for real cold
We choose cold-climate models rated to keep producing heat when the thermometer bottoms out, then size them to your house. No hoping the backup carries the load in February.
Forms tracked like deadlines
Light plant applications, gas-side program paperwork and HEAT Loan documents each get a checklist and a due date. You always know what is filed, what is waiting and what needs a signature.
Backup heat set up correctly
When the old boiler or furnace stays, integrated controls let it run only in deep cold. When it goes, it is removed or disconnected the way the rebate program expects.
Heat Pump Projects Across Peabody and Neighboring Towns
Peabody sits where Route 1 and Route 128 cross, a city of older capes, colonials and two-families with plenty of oil tanks still in the basements. Electricity here is supplied by the Peabody Municipal Light Plant, so incentives follow the plant's own program rather than the Mass Save electric one. A few miles in any direction the picture shifts. Danvers, Middleton, Marblehead and Wakefield have municipal electric departments of their own, parts of Lynnfield buy power from municipal plants, and Salem, Beverly, Lynn, Saugus and Swampscott are served by a Mass Save utility. We check the address and the bills, then plan the job around whichever programs fit.
Utility first, numbers second
A light plant address and a Mass Save address can sit a mile apart. The incentive math starts only after we know which one is yours.
Older homes, real heat loss
Drafty attics, single-pane windows and big old radiators all change the design. Each house gets measured on its own.

Peabody Homeowners Ask, We Answer
Six questions that show up on our calls week after week.
If I switch to a heat pump, what becomes of my oil tank?
When the heat pump takes over the whole house and the oil boiler is retired, the tank is usually removed as part of the project plan. If the boiler stays as a backup on integrated controls, the tank stays with it. Either way, we settle that decision before the proposal is written so it fits the schedule.
How do I know whether my house can get a whole-home incentive?
Start with the utility. In Peabody, electricity comes from the municipal light plant, so its own heat pump program sets the rules rather than Mass Save. Those rules generally look at the equipment, how well the house holds heat and whether the system can carry the home on its own, and we walk through each point on the call.
Is extra help available for income-eligible households?
It can be. Households under certain income limits may reach larger Mass Save incentives through a participating utility, and a municipal light plant sets its own policy. We look at which programs your accounts tie into and point you toward the right contact if a higher level may apply.
How much upkeep does a heat pump need?
Not a lot, but it should be regular. Rinse or vacuum the indoor filters every few weeks during heavy use, keep snow and leaves clear of the outdoor unit and have coils and condensate lines cleaned periodically. We show you the owner tasks at startup.
Should a Home Energy Assessment happen before the heat pump?
Often, yes. Whole-home incentives usually expect a weatherized house. For eligible customers the Mass Save Home Energy Assessment costs nothing, and the write-up it produces flags insulation and sealing work that programs reward well. For Peabody homes, eligibility usually runs through the gas account, so we check that and fit the assessment into the timeline.
How long will installation take?
Job size drives it. A single ductless zone is a short project, while a whole-house system with old equipment coming out takes longer. The proposal lists the expected install days, and we hold to that plan.
