Heat Pump Testimonials
Over 200,000 heat pumps have been installed in homes and businesses across Maine and customer satisfaction is very high. Here’s what some heat pump rebate recipients have to say about their experience.
Warm without backup
“I live on the top of a mountain in Waterford, Maine, where it gets pretty windy. That’s not a challenge for my heat pumps, which during a February cold snap, kept me warm without backup even during -49 °F wind chill! I’m also saving money every month using heat pumps instead of propane.”
— Frank D., Waterford
Haven’t bought oil since 2021
“I’ve saved thousands of dollars by heating my entire home with two heat pumps. In fact, I haven’t had an oil delivery since the fall of 2021.”
— Paul N., Van Buren
Saving money and very comfortable
“We live in a small 1930s cape cod and it routinely gets down to -20 °F in the winter. We replaced our failing, 25-year-old oil furnace with heat pumps. When we had forced hot air with an oil furnace, we were always adjusting the temperature, and now we set the heat pumps and forget them. The heat pumps are saving us money, and we’re very comfortable. It’s also really inexpensive to run the air conditioning. This technology is great.”
— Cathy and George H., Dexter
No more lugging the window AC
“I love my heat pump! It’s in the closet where my furnace used to be and uses the existing ductwork. It keeps the entire house a steady, comfortable, toasty warm temperature even on bitter cold days. Even with higher electricity rates, the cost is nowhere near what I used to pay. It has so many benefits: no oil delivery and no need to shovel a path to my oil tank to read the gauge. And I don’t have to put my air conditioners in anymore!”
— Michelle W., Freeport

— Gary D., Sanford
Super-clean and meticulous installation
“Heat pumps are doing exactly what I wanted. They are efficient and they are heating the house. The installer exceeded my expectations. They were very organized and quick. They were super-clean and meticulous in their installation.”
— Ned S., Portland
Big difference with air quality
“The heat pump has been wonderful during recent cold stretches, and I have noticed a big difference with the air quality in my home. I am very satisfied with the installation and have recommended the program to all my neighbors.”
