Heat Pump Services North of Boston
From Malden to Salem -- serving the North Shore's small businesses
The communities north of Boston span a wide range of commercial environments. The inner suburbs -- Malden, Medford, Everett, and Revere -- are densely built with working-class commercial corridors, auto service businesses, ethnic restaurants, and health and beauty services. Many of these buildings are older, poorly insulated, and running on inefficient electric resistance or aging boiler systems that are expensive to operate. Heat pump retrofits in these areas deliver some of the most dramatic utility savings we see anywhere in our service territory.
Further north, the coastal communities of Lynn, Salem, Marblehead, and Swampscott have their own distinct character. Salem's historic downtown is a major tourist destination with restaurants and specialty retail that need reliable year-round comfort. Marblehead and Swampscott have smaller commercial villages where salt-air exposure is a consideration, similar to the South Shore. We bring the same coastal-rated equipment spec to these communities and handle the additional permitting requirements that come with working in historic districts.
Mass Save® eligibility in North of Boston
Eligibility is not a property of a town. It depends on which utility bills the fuel your building heats with today. Here’s what that means across this region.
Mass Save® Sponsor Towns
These towns take electric service from a Mass Save® Sponsor. Commercial heat pump incentives of $2,000 per ton apply to projects that replace or supplement an existing heating system, with pre-approval before installation.

Municipal Light Plant Towns
These towns run their own municipal light plants, which are not Mass Save® Sponsors. A business heated by natural gas from a Sponsor can still be eligible for Mass Save® through that gas account; buildings on oil, propane or electric resistance use the light plant program where one exists.

We Confirm Before You Commit
In these towns the light plant is not a Mass Save® Sponsor and the public records do not agree on who distributes the natural gas. We confirm in writing what your building is eligible for, at no cost, before you commit.

Trusted by Small Businesses in North of Boston
“I was skeptical about the no-cost assessment but it really was no-cost. They showed me exactly what rebates I qualified for and handled everything. My barbershop stays perfect now — winter and summer.”
“Our restaurant had hot and cold spots everywhere. They put in heat pumps that actually keep the dining room comfortable even when the kitchen is running full blast. Huge difference for our customers.”
“We run a busy nail salon in Cambridge and the old AC was killing our electric bill. Advanced Ductless installed a 3-zone mini-split and our bill dropped by almost half. The rebate covered most of the install.”
Common Questions About Heat Pumps in North of Boston
Yes. Salem is one of the more complex permitting environments we work in due to its historic district requirements. We are familiar with the Salem Historical Commission guidelines and select equipment and mounting approaches that comply with those standards. We have completed installs in Derby Street and Essex Street commercial buildings.
Multi-zone ductless systems are ideal for exactly that scenario. A single outdoor condenser can drive separate indoor units for the dining room, bar, and office, each controlled independently. Kitchen ventilation is typically handled separately, but we can assess whether a heat pump can augment or replace your dining room system to reduce load on the overall mechanical setup.
Cold-climate heat pumps are designed for New England winters and maintain rated efficiency down to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The North Shore typically sees fewer extreme cold days than inland areas due to the moderating effect of the ocean. We size systems with local winter design temperatures in mind and confirm performance specs before finalizing the equipment selection.
Don’t wait until your system breaks down in the middle of summer
Lost revenue from a broken AC in peak season can cost more than a full replacement. Find out which incentives your building is eligible for — we confirm it in writing, at no cost.
