Efficiency Maine offers a rebate of $500 for qualifying air source mini split ductless heat pumps. True North offers many models of heat pumps that qualify for this rebate from Mitsubishi and Fujitsu. The $500 rebate is a one-time incentive that applies to the complete project, and is not applied per heat pump installed. Read on for an overview of the heat pump rebate, how to apply for it and what you need to know to move forward with your new sustainable heating system.*
