Get matched with a registered installer

Rebates require an Efficiency Maine Residential Registered Vendor. We'll send your estimate to up to three in your area.

Rules worth knowing: Low- and moderate-income rebates require an owner-occupied primary residence and income verification before installation. Systems must be sized as whole-home heating. Lifetime limits per housing unit: $3,000 any income, $6,000 moderate, $9,000 low. Rebates change; Efficiency Maine's terms say incentives can be changed or ended. Confirm current amounts with Efficiency Maine (866-376-2463) or your installer. Estimates last checked November 2026.

Other New England states have their own programs. Calculators for New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island are planned.
