Efficiency Maine Appliance Rebate Program

Efficiency Maine offers a $50 rebate when you purchase an ENERGY STAR-certified clothes washer, which uses about 20% less energy and 30% less water than standard models and can save you roughly $530 over the appliance's lifetime. For heat pump water heaters, you can receive discounts at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Granite Group, or a $1,050 mail-in rebate if purchased elsewhere; apply through their website or contact them at 866-376-2463 to request rebate forms.

You can help residential customers access a $50 rebate for ENERGY STAR clothes washers and direct them to negotiated discounts at major retailers or the $1,050 mail-in rebate pathway for heat pump water heaters purchased through other channels. Both appliance upgrades also qualify for Efficiency Maine's Home Energy Loan program, expanding financing options for your customers.

The Appliance Rebate Program targets residential Maine customers upgrading to ENERGY STAR-certified clothes washers ($50 rebate) and heat pump water heaters ($1,050 mail-in rebate or retail discounts at Home Depot, Lowe's, and Granite Group). Program mechanics include mail-in rebate processing and retail partnerships to reduce customer friction; eligible upgrades can also be financed through the Home Energy Loan program to broaden access.
