Maine extends heat pump rebates to maintain adoption after federal credits expire.
Federal tax credits for heat pumps, offering up to 30% off installation, will end by year's end due to changes in the One Big Beautiful Bill.
In response, Maine will maintain its rebate program through Efficiency Maine, providing up to $9,000 for low-income households and $3,000 for others.
The state aims to install 275,000 heat pumps by 2027, having already surpassed its 100,000 goal.
A $450 million regional initiative funded by the Inflation Reduction Act supports contractor incentives, training, and outreach.
Despite rising electricity rates, heat pumps offer average annual savings of $700 per household.
While the loss of federal credits may increase upfront costs, state rebates and long-term savings are expected to sustain adoption.
