flag Maine extends heat pump rebates to maintain adoption after federal credits expire.

flag 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. flag 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. flag The state aims to install 275,000 heat pumps by 2027, having already surpassed its 100,000 goal. flag A $450 million regional initiative funded by the Inflation Reduction Act supports contractor incentives, training, and outreach. flag Despite rising electricity rates, heat pumps offer average annual savings of $700 per household. flag While the loss of federal credits may increase upfront costs, state rebates and long-term savings are expected to sustain adoption.
