If you qualify as low-income and live in a manufactured (mobile) home, you can stack Efficiency Maine's top rebate tier with the federal HEAR program — often enough to cover a full heat pump system.
Efficiency Maine treats you as low-income if you or a household member is enrolled in a qualifying assistance program, or your income is at or below the low-income threshold for your county and household size.
Qualifying low-income households in single-family manufactured (mobile) homes can have up to three Seville cold-climate heat pumps installed at no out-of-pocket cost. The rebate stack — Efficiency Maine plus HEAR — is applied for you, with no paperwork to chase.
Best for: single-wide and double-wide owners already on MaineCare, HEAP, SNAP, or TANF.
Prefer the highest-efficiency Keen equipment, or live in a modular or prefab home? Get it for $75 a month for 60 months at 0% interest through BRF Services or Maine Energy Services. A fixed, interest-free payment — not a teaser rate.
Best for: modular, prefab, or anyone wanting maximum efficiency with a predictable payment.
| Income tier | Per outdoor unit | Lifetime cap per housing unit |
|---|---|---|
| Low income | $3,000 | $9,000 |
| Moderate income | $2,000 | $6,000 |
| Any income (no verification) | $1,000 | $3,000 |
Applies to qualifying single-zone cold-climate outdoor units on Efficiency Maine's list, up to three units per home. All four manufactured-home types qualify for these Efficiency Maine rebates.
Maine is deploying its federally funded Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program to the housing types with the highest energy burden first. Single-family manufactured (mobile) homes occupied by income-eligible residents are one of the two priority categories (the other is new affordable multifamily). That lets a mobile home layer HEAR on top of the Efficiency Maine rebate:
| Source | Low-income manufactured (mobile) home |
|---|---|
| Efficiency Maine (3 outdoor units × $3,000) | up to $9,000 |
| HEAR (mobile-home heat pump rebate) | up to $8,000 |
| Combined | up to ~$17,000 |
MaineCare, HEAP, SNAP, or TANF enrollment is the fastest route to low-income status. Have it handy.
