Mass Save in ConwayEligible

Conway is in Eversource electric territory and fully Mass Save eligible. Whole-home cold-climate heat pump installs have typically earned up to $8,500 ($2,650 per ton) in recent rebate cycles; partial and single-zone mini-split installs usually land $2,500–$6,000. Most Conway projects start with a free Mass Save home energy assessment, which is the gatekeeper for the larger rebates. Because so much of the housing is old farmhouse stock, the assessment also frequently surfaces insulation and air-sealing work that can be subsidized at 75%+, and knob-and-tube remediation when needed. The 0% HEAT Loan up to $25,000 (effective January 1, 2025) is the standard finance pairing.

HVAC in Conway — what to know

Permits in Conway

Massachusetts state code (780 CMR) requires a building permit for HVAC replacement in Conway, filed with the town building department. A separate electrical permit is required for new heat-pump circuits. Conway's building department runs on limited hours, so contractors should confirm inspection availability before promising tight timelines. Conservation Commission jurisdiction is broad here because of the South River, Pumpkin Hollow Brook, and extensive wetlands — any work inside the 100-foot buffer typically needs a Notice of Intent under the Wetlands Protection Act.

Where a permit is required, HVAC work in Conway is filed with the Conway Building Department; see the Conway Building Department’s contact, portal and who pulls the permit on permits.llc.

Typical project cost

Conway HVAC costs trend toward the higher end of western-MA ranges because of older housing and rural access. A whole-home cold-climate heat pump retrofit typically runs $22,000–$38,000 before rebates; a single-zone ductless mini-split lands $4,500–$8,500; an oil boiler replacement is usually $9,000–$14,000 with a new tank. Pre-1900 farmhouses with active knob-and-tube and balloon-framed walls routinely add $3,000–$8,000 in electrical and insulation prep work.

About Conway homes

Conway is a Franklin County hill town of about 1,773 people in roughly 845 housing units, set in the rolling country between South Deerfield and Shelburne Falls. The median home age is around 51 years, but the housing mix runs from 18th- and 19th-century farmhouses along the South River and Pumpkin Hollow to ranches and contemporaries on back-road lots.

Natural gas service is essentially absent. Oil, propane, and wood dominate existing heating, often layered together. Heat pump retrofits — particularly ductless mini-splits in older homes without ducts — are the most common new-install project in town.

Common questions — HVAC in Conway

Do Mass Save heat pump rebates apply in Conway?
Yes. Conway is served by an investor-owned electric utility, so homeowners qualify for the full Mass Save program: the whole-home heat pump rebate of $2,650 per ton (up to $8,500) when the heat pump becomes the only heating system, $1,125 per ton with a boiler or furnace kept as backup, and the 0 percent HEAT Loan up to $25,000. The equipment must be on the Mass Save qualified product list, and the whole-home rebate has weatherization conditions that a home energy assessment can satisfy.
My farmhouse has no ductwork. How does a heat pump work here?
Ductless mini-splits are the standard answer for ductless Conway homes. Many homeowners install zones for the most-used rooms first and keep their existing boiler as backup for the rest of the house and the coldest nights.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. The Conway building department requires a permit for any HVAC system replacement, and a separate electrical permit for new heat-pump circuits.
What about knob-and-tube wiring?
If active K&T is in the walls or ceilings you plan to insulate, Mass Save typically requires it be remediated before subsidized insulation work. Heat pumps also always need new dedicated circuits, so budget for some electrical work upfront.
How far do contractors travel for Conway projects?
Most contractors serving Conway are based in Greenfield, Northampton, or Shelburne Falls. Build a little scheduling slack into emergency service calls compared to closer-in towns.
