What Is the $500 Heat Pump Bonus?

This bonus is in addition to existing Efficiency Maine rebates, which vary depending on the household income level and the type of heat pump installation.
Because the $500 incentive stacks with current rebates, homeowners may significantly reduce the overall cost of installing a modern heat pump system.
