Maine Governor Announces Homeowner
 Weatherization Incentives

     On January 8, 2010 Governor John E. Baldacci unveiled a new benefit available to Mainers who improve the energy efficiency of their homes.

     "The Maine Home Performance program Efficiency Maine is open for business," said Governor Baldacci. "All Maine homeowners are able to participate. By making eligible improvements in their homes, they can access rebates of up to $3,000 and save between 25 percent and 50 percent on their home heating bill."
 
     The program, administered by Efficiency Maine, is an important way to encourage Maine people to consider improving their homes to save energy. Last year the Legislature passed the Governor's energy bill that set the goal to weatherize all Maine homes and half of Maine businesses by 2030.
 
     There is no income limit to participate in the Maine Home Performance program. To qualify for rebates under the program, homeowners must have an energy audit performed by a certified audit and improvements made must achieve at least 25 percent savings in heating and hot water fuel usage.

       A full list of eligible improvements and eligibility requirements are found on Efficiency Maine's website,  In addition, a toll free number is available at 877-334-6583, and 2-1-1.
