What to know about the Maine numbers

  • Rebates not checked yet. We haven't checked heat pump rebates in Maine yet, so the numbers here leave them out. Utility and state programs can take thousands off a heat pump, so ask your utility and your contractor what's available.
  • Supplier choice. Many Maine households buy their electricity supply from a competitive supplier. We use the utility's standard price; if you buy from a supplier, enter your total price per kWh from your bill.
