The District is launching both the Home Efficiency Rebates (HER) and the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) programs to lower energy bills by lowering costs for energy-efficiency home improvements.

Eligible residents will be able to save up to $4,000 on an electrical panel upgrade, up to $2,500 on electrical wiring, and up to $840 on an electric stove, cooktop, range, or oven and/or an Energy Star-certified electric heat-pump clothes dryer.

Maine has begun offering Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates, which can help eligible homeowners install certain high-efficiency HVAC equipment and make electrical system upgrades.

The money, through the Inflation Reduction Act’s Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program, is for direct-to-consumer rebates for the purchase of qualifying high-efficiency HVAC equipment, including up to $8,000 for a heat pump.
