MassCEC is no longer accepting applications for the Ground-Source Heat Pump sytstems.
This page provides resources for GSHP installers and designers about the completion process for residential and commercial grants.
- A residential GSHP project is installed at a residential facility.
- A commercial-scale GSHP project is installed at a private, public, or non-profit facility.

Best Practices
MassCEC’s program requirements are intended to ensure high-quality project designs and installations. We recommend double-checking the following to make sure the system meets program requirements and to minimize the delays associated with these common application errors:
- You have included all documents on the application checklist.
- You have recorded nameplate heating capacity, COP and EER correctly from the AHRI certificate, and the certificate is for the correct heat pump model.
- This is the most common application error.
- Peak heat load on the application matches the Manual J software output and is for an appropriate design city.
- AHRI-rated heating capacity is between 90 percent and 120 percent of peak load.
- Bore grouting has a grout conductivity equal to or greater than anticipated earth conductivity of the drill site, up to 1 BTU/hr-ft-°F.
- Bore hole depth is at least 150-feet-per-heating ton.
- Horizontal-loop system design drawings are accurate.
