MA might want you to, but has a problem. Just pre COVID, I had a quote, it was high, but not terrible, just well out of our range. We had a follow up quote after Massachusetts announced 10-15k more in rebates, and the price went up by about 15-20k. I get that some of this is that things are more expensive, but it also means that the incentives are not being seen by people, just installers. It's frustrating to say the least.
Did you get multiple quotes? When we had our HVAC system replaced, the quotes we got varied by almost $10K. The lowest bid was from the one who had the best online reputation and they did great work
Same, I got heat pumps installed in 2020 and the prices varies a ridiculous amount, pretty sure we were quoted anywhere from $30-50k for 7 indoor units and 3 outdoor stations. Ended up going with one of the cheaper options and after the MA HEAT loan (max $25k 0% 7yr one time use per family per house) pretty much all of the up front cost was refunded by tax season
