Commercial Lighting Retrofit Program:

RMLD phased out its Commercial Lighting Retrofit Rebate Program effective July 1, 2021. This change is to reflect evolving technology and industry standards. 

Rebates for commercial lighting controls are available through the Commercial Custom Rebate Program (see below).


Commercial Custom Rebate Program:

The Custom Rebate Program is for non-residential customers who install ENERGY STAR rated or other high-energy efficient custom equipment within their facility that will result in net energy savings and/or demand reduction. The rebate is available for retrofits of existing equipment or new construction. RMLD preapproval is required. 

Custom Equipment will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Examples of equipment categories include ECM Evaporator Fan Motors, Evaporator Fan Controls, Freezer/Cooler LEDs, Air  Compressors, Heat Pump Systems, Chillers, Motors, Refrigerated Air Dryers, Variable Frequency Drives, and Lighting Controls. Lighting fixtures, luminaires, and lamps are excluded from this program.

Air-Source Heat Pump Rebate Program:

Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) are an efficient technology to heat and cool a home and offer many advantages over traditional systems including reduced operating costs, improved efficiency, and reduced carbon emissions. RMLD offers rebates of $1,000 per ton for new ASHP installations and $200 per ton for the replacement of existing ASHP installations. The rebate is available to all customer classes and is capped at $6,000. Gas customers who are eligible to participate in MassSave heat pump rebates are not eligible for this rebate. All projects must go through a pre-approval process and post-installation quality assurance to qualify for the rebate. Please visit RMLD's Air Source Heat Pump Guide for more information and educational resources.
