The Efficiency Maine Trust (Efficiency Maine) is the independent, quasi-state agency established to plan and implement energy efficiency programs in Maine. Through its suite of nationally recognized programs, Efficiency Maine provides consumer information, marketing support, demonstration pilots, discounts, rebates, loans, and other initiatives to promote high-efficiency equipment and operations that help Maine’s homes, businesses, and institutions reduce their energy costs and lower their greenhouse gas emissions.
Home and business owners are both eligible for a variety of rebates and tax credits, including special programs for low income and moderate income Mainers. For residential systems, incentives can reach up to $5,000 with a Federal Tax Credit up to $2,600, and Efficiency Maine Rebates up to $2,400.
Certain eligibility requirements must be met-- installations must take place at a building that is owner-occupied year-round, a single family home located in Maine, it must be the first heat pump installed at the residence, and may not have a natural gas utility account. Other restrictions may apply; EcoHeat Maine can help you navigate the eligibility process to make sure you qualify for as many of these programs as possible.
