Is Foxborough in Mass Save?

Yes. Foxborough gets its electricity from National Grid, not from a municipal light plant, so homes in Foxborough are in the Mass Save program. Its natural gas comes from Eversource (the state's list), also a Mass Save sponsor.

Foxborough is not on the state's list of municipal light plants. Mass Save is not statewide: 41 light plants serve all or part of 50 municipalities, and homes on their electric service are outside its electric program (Mass Save in municipal light plant towns).

Heat pump rebates and financing in Foxborough

A whole-home air source heat pump installed in Foxborough 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. 32% of Foxborough'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.

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

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 Foxborough, 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 Foxborough Building Department page, with the department's contact and portal. For a sense of volume, permits.llc counts 1,283 building, mechanical, sheet metal and gas permits filed in Foxborough in October 2025 through September 2026 (its count).
