Maine homeowners can save thousands on heat pumps, insulation, and air sealing through Efficiency Maine. As a registered vendor, we handle all the paperwork and deduct your rebate from your invoice upfront.
Efficiency Maine is the state's independent administrator for energy efficiency programs. They offer rebates to Maine homeowners who invest in qualifying energy improvements, including heat pumps, insulation, and air sealing.
The program is funded by a small surcharge on electricity bills, which means every Maine ratepayer has already been contributing. These rebates are your money coming back to you.
Horizon Homes is a registered Efficiency Maine vendor. That means we can process your rebate directly, deducting it from your invoice before you pay. You never have to file paperwork, wait for a reimbursement check, or deal with the program yourself. We handle everything.
Rebate amounts are based on your household income relative to the Area Median Income (AMI). Lower-income households qualify for significantly larger rebates, up to $9,000 for heat pumps and $8,000 for weatherization.
Efficiency Maine rebates for heat pumps depend on your household income and the number of outdoor units installed. Income-qualified households receive the largest rebates.
| Household Income | Per Outdoor Unit | Max (3 units) |
|---|---|---|
| Low Income | $3,000 | $9,000 |
| Moderate Income | $2,000 | $6,000 |
| Any Income | $1,000 | $3,000 |
These Efficiency Maine rebates for heat pumps apply to cold-climate, high-efficiency models rated to perform at -13F or below, like the Mitsubishi Hyper-Heating systems we install. Standard heat pumps that lose capacity in cold weather do not qualify. If you are still deciding which system is right for your home, our energy efficient heating guide covers the full comparison.
Rebate amounts are per outdoor unit, up to three units per home. For a low-income household installing three outdoor units, that is up to $9,000 in Efficiency Maine heat pump rebates alone. Moderate-income households receive up to $6,000, and all Maine homeowners qualify for at least $3,000 regardless of income, with no income verification required for the base tier.
These rebates can be combined with insulation and air sealing rebates for a combined maximum of $18,100. We handle all Efficiency Maine paperwork and deduct the rebate directly from your invoice. You pay the net amount.
