Home Energy Audit and Weatherization
WMLP requires that all residents complete a Home Energy Assesment (HEA) if the home was constructed before January 1, 2013. To be eligible for a WMLP whole-home rebate, WMLP customers will need to have received an assessment within the last three years. See Home Energy Audit Sign-up to schedule an assessment or call 888-577-8488.

Whole-home projects will also be eligible for an Increased weatherization rebate of 50% of project costs up to $2,500. If applying for the whole-home rebate and increased weatherization incentives, weatherization measures must be completed within 6 months of heat pump installation.
Please provide a copy of your Home Energy Audit (if applicable and available)

Whole-Home Rebate Eligibility Verification

A Manual J report must be provided by your installer in order to receive a whole-home rebate. This report helps to accurately determine the sizing and design needs of your home. Doing so helps to prevent common issues associated with improperly sized equipment and helps to ensure that the system will perform effectively.
To be considered a whole-home heat pump solution, the system must be designed to condition 100% of the home's living space by volume and supply between 90-120% of the heating load at the correct design temperature for the home's location. A Manual J calculation is the best practice for determining the heating load. The correct design temperature and accurate building attributes must be included in the Manual J for an accurate heating and cooling load determination. A Manual J report must be provided by your installer in order to receive a whole-home rebate.

Systems that condition 100% of the home's living space, but supply less than 90% of the home's heating load at the design temperature are partial heat pump solutions. Systems that supply more than 120% of the home's heating load at the design temperature may be oversized. Oversizing can potentially cause performance issues and decreased operating efficiency (higher operating cost).
Please upload a copy of Manual J affirming that you are planning on installing a heat pump system that is capable of supplying between 90% and 120% of your home's heating requirements at Wellesley's outside design temperature (9F):*

By uploading this document you and your installer have attested that the system/s are designed according to program requirements. Whole-home projects are subject to further sizing review to confirm all criteria are met. If further review is required, additional documentation may be requested and system/s may be subject to denial if analysis deems the system/s to be improperly sized.
