National Grid offers a discount on electricity from November 1st through April 30th for people using heat pumps to heat their home. For those people who received one last year, you DO NOT have to apply again; it should appear on your bill automatically. For those people who didn’t, I’ll be working to get information out soon about how to apply, or you can check out these posts from last year. (The links in last year’s posts are redirecting to this year’s info.)

The discount doesn’t end up being that big, but every little bit helps. As I recall it cut about $20 off our bill each month last year. You can find more specifics about current regular rates vs. heat pump rates here.
