Overview

Efficiency Maine is offering its most generous residential rebate yet to income-eligible owners of single-wide mobile homes, also referred to as manufactured homes. If you currently heat with propane, oil, or kerosene, you could qualify for a $13,900 rebate for a new ducted heat pump system. Projects must be pre-approved by Efficiency Maine and completed by a participating installer. Upgrading to high-efficiency heat pumps can help reduce heating costs, provide cooling in the summer, and save money.

Eligibility

Homeowner

  • Homeowner or homeowner’s household member must be a verified recipient of MaineCare or HEAP or SNAP or TANF, or household income must be 80% or less of the median income for the county in which the home is located. For a list of income limits by eligible towns, click here.
  • The homeowner must agree to having the existing heating system removed (included in the project cost) because the ducted heat pump will occupy the utility closet space.
  • The homeowner must have an active email address.

Building

  • Home must be a single-wide mobile home.
  • Home must be the homeowner’s principal, year-round residence.
  • Home must not be heated with natural gas or baseboard heat.
  • Home must be located on the designated towns list. The list of designated towns will be updated over time, reflecting areas of the state that have suitable outdoor temperatures and contractor services to support the special needs of this program. Homes located in towns that are not listed on this table are not eligible at this time.
  • Efficiency Maine will conduct a free assessment to determine if the ducted heat pump is suitable for the home. If the home is not suitable due to excess heat loss, underbelly damage, or compromised ductwork, the customer may take advantage of insulation rebates up to $8,000 before potentially continuing with the initiative.
  • Furnace closet must be 18 inches or wider to fit the heat pump system.

Installer

Financing Available

Homeowners must contribute to the cost of the project. Homeowners have the option of paying $1,000 toward the project up front or can finance the required project contribution with a loan offered by Efficiency Maine.
