Understanding Efficiency Maine Rebates for Your Home
Efficiency Maine offers substantial rebates to homeowners in Augusta, ME and surrounding areas for energy upgrades. These rebates can cover 30–80% of project costs, turning major improvements into affordable investments that often pay for themselves through energy savings. Rebates apply to a wide range of upgrades, including insulation, air sealing, heat pump systems, and water heater replacements. By combining efficient equipment with proper ventilation, your home stays comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient year-round.
Heat Pump Rebates & Installation Benefits
Homeowners can receive up to $2,000 per unit in rebates for qualified heat pump installations. The Breathable Home ensures systems are correctly sized and placed for optimal performance, using real data and load calculations specific to your home. Installers are trained to integrate hybrid systems for maximum comfort and energy savings. Certified installation ensures you get the most from your investment, both in performance and rebate value.
Weatherization & Insulation Incentives
Efficiency Maine offers rebates up to $9,000 for comprehensive weatherization projects. The Breathable Home uses diagnostic tools like blower door tests and thermal imaging to find energy leaks, focusing first on air sealing to prevent heat loss caused by the stack effect. Moisture-conscious insulation is then installed to improve comfort and indoor air quality while protecting against mold. Every upgrade is designed around building science principles to ensure long-term performance.
Income-Eligible Enhanced Rebates
Low-to-moderate income households may qualify for enhanced rebates that cover 100% of weatherization costs. This includes complete air sealing, insulation, ventilation upgrades, and heat pump installations. Eligible homeowners can also receive efficient heat-pump water heaters and indoor air quality improvements. Qualification is based on income and household size, with a streamlined application process to make it easy.
