Cooling Solutions

Installing, renovating, or replacing cooling equipment with high-efficiency options can make your workplace more comfortable and reduce cooling costs.  Incentives from Efficiency Maine are available for heat pumps, variable refrigerant flow systems, and programmable thermostats.

Heat Pumps:

Many Maine businesses cool and heat with a heat pump; heat pumps come in several configurations including central systems and mini-split systems which heat different zones independently. Click here to find out more about ductless mini-split heat pumps and available incentives.

Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems:

Variable refrigerant flow systems can simultaneously cool and heat different parts of the building; these systems can be very efficient because they can cool by taking waste heat captured in one part of the building (e.g., a server room, or the face of the building exposed to the sun) and deliver it to spaces requiring heat. Because they rely on a different distribution network than is present in most existing buildings, variable refrigerant flow systems are most often installed in new buildings or as part of large renovation projects.
