The chilly New England state blew past its goal to install 100,000 heat pumps by 2025. Now it's pledging to install 175,000 more by 2027.

Heat pumps sold so fast in Maine, the state just upped its target::undefined

Is this the reason why they’re so expensive?

There are many rebates for their installation. Check your city, state, federal, and utility for kick backs. That’s having a huge effect on demand.

Just had a 48btu unit installed. 2,000 sqft, 3 - 9k wall units, 1 - 18k ducted unit. Operational down to -22 F.

$20,000 and then a $4,300 rebate and later a $2,000 tax credit. Down right affordable. Would have been even less if new ductwork didn’t have to be retrofitted.
