Kerosene out · Cold-climate heat pumps in

Cut your Maine heating bill.
Keep every dollar of your rebate.

If your mobile home runs on an aging 80% AFUE kerosene furnace, you are paying to send most of your money up the flue. Today's cold-climate heat pumps deliver up to 30 BTU per watt and, for income-qualified Mainers, can be installed for little or nothing out of pocket.

The plain-English version

An 80% furnace turns 8 gallons of a 10-gallon tank into heat.
A heat pump turns 1 unit of electricity into 3.

A kerosene furnace burns fuel and loses roughly a fifth of it out the flue — and that is when it is running well. A heat pump does not burn anything. It moves existing heat from the outdoor air into your home, which is why it can deliver three or more units of heat for every unit of electricity it draws. In a drafty, single-metered mobile home, that difference shows up fast on the bill.

Old: 80% AFUE kerosene furnace

  • Up to ~20% of every gallon lost as waste heat
  • Fuel price swings with the oil market each winter
  • Fumes, deliveries, and a tank to keep filled
  • No cooling — useless in a July heat wave
  • Aging furnaces drift below their rated efficiency
vs

New: cold-climate heat pump

  • Up to 30 BTU/watt — roughly 3× more heat per dollar
  • HSPF2-rated for real Maine winter performance
  • Heats and air-conditions the same unit
  • Quiet, no flame, no fuel deliveries
  • Rebates and 0% financing bring it within reach

Why this site exists

Built for Maine mobile-home residents first

Mobile homes qualify for more

Manufactured and mobile homes are a priority housing type in Maine's federally funded HEAR program — on top of standard Efficiency Maine rebates. That stack is why so little out-of-pocket cost is possible.

We point to real installers

Every rebate must run through a registered vendor. We recommend BRF Services and Maine Energy Services, who handle the paperwork and the financing.

Straight numbers, no hype

Efficiency figures, rebate tiers, and eligibility rules come from public Efficiency Maine information, with the caveats spelled out so you can verify everything yourself.
