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.
Rebate amounts 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 |
Rebate amounts are subject to change. Program details set by Efficiency Maine. Contact us for current rates and to verify your eligibility.
Efficiency Maine also offers substantial rebates for insulation and air sealing, two of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home's comfort and efficiency. See our detailed breakdown of Maine insulation rebates and how to qualify.
| Household Income | % of Project Cost | Maximum Rebate |
|---|---|---|
| Low Income | 80% | $8,000 |
| Moderate Income | 60% | $6,000 |
| Any Income | 40% | $4,000 |
Rebate amounts are subject to change. These rebates can be combined with heat pump rebates for additional savings on whole-home projects.
