Matt Gagnon interviews Mike Hedge from Casco Bay Heat Pump about changes to the Efficiency Maine rebate system for heat pumps. The new criteria include requiring one-to-one heat pumps, listing on an approved efficiency list, and heating the entire home. Previously, rebates were given for specific rooms. The Inflation Reduction Act list is used for efficiency standards. Rebates range from $1,000 to $3,000 per heat pump, with additional federal tax credits and upgrades available. These changes may affect the number of heat pumps installed but offer significant savings for low- and moderate-income households.
