Is Dighton in Mass Save?

It depends on the address. Part of Dighton gets its electricity from National Grid and part from the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant (the state's list names both), and Mass Save follows the company that sends the electric bill: a home on National Grid's service is in the Mass Save program, and a home on the light plant's service is outside Mass Save's electric program. A home on the light plant's service can still use Mass Save through an Eversource gas account.

To check, look at the company name on your electric bill, or ask the light plant whether it serves your street.

Dighton is on the state's list of municipal light plants; Mass Save in municipal light plant towns has the full decision tree.

Heat pump rebates and financing in Dighton

For a home on National Grid's electric service, a whole-home air source heat pump installed in Dighton in 2026 earns a Mass Save rebate of $2,650 per ton, up to $8,500; a partial-home system, with the old boiler or furnace kept as backup, earns $1,125 per ton, up to $8,500.

The whole-home rebate needs ENERGY STAR cold-climate equipment from the qualified product list, a contractor in the Mass Save Heat Pump Installer Network, and a home that is weatherized first. 36% of Dighton's homes were built before 1960 (Census ACS 2018-2022), so check the weatherization condition early.

Income-eligible households can get up to $16,000 for a whole-home system.

The HEAT Loan finances heat pumps at 0% interest, up to $25,000 over the life of your Mass Save upgrades.

There is no federal tax credit to add: the IRS says the energy efficient home improvement credit (25C) is not allowed for any property placed in service after December 31, 2025.

On the light plant's service, the heat pump rebates apply only when the heat pump replaces gas heat on an Eversource gas account; otherwise the light plant's own rebates apply.

Do you need a permit for a heat pump, furnace, boiler or AC in Dighton?

Yes, and which permits depends on the equipment. A gas furnace or boiler needs a gas-fitting permit, which only a licensed plumber or gas fitter can pull. A heat pump burns no fuel, so it needs no gas permit; its wiring needs an electrical permit filed by a licensed electrician, and the equipment a building or mechanical permit from Dighton, usually pulled by the contractor.

permits.llc carries the rules: its Massachusetts guide to furnace, boiler and AC permits, its guide to permits for a ductless mini split, and the Dighton Building Department page, with the department's contact and portal. For a sense of volume, permits.llc counts 17 building, mechanical, sheet metal and gas permits filed in Dighton in August and September 2026 (its count).
