making homes safe and warm
If you cannot afford
to heat your home, pay electric bills, or would benefit from
energy improvements such as new insulation, a new heating
system, or energy efficient appliances, help may be available
from MaineHousing programs. Lower income
households may qualify
for heating assistance and energy improvements at no cost
to them.
Moderate-income
households may
qualify for low cost energy loans. While
household income
limits apply, most Maine homeowners are income eligible
for a HELP loan. The Home Energy Loan Program provides
low fixed rate loans to improve home energy efficiency. Click

Maine Home Performance with ENERGY STAR trains and certifies
home energy evaluators. A home performance evaluation is
more than an energy audit: it's a "whole-house" assessment
of a home's energy usage, as well as its air quality,
moisture, and ventilation. The evaluation leads to recommendations
for energy-related home improvements based on current building
science standards, and these improvements are
followed by a final test of the home. The final, post-improvement
test measures for projected energy savings. It also ensures
the home receives proper ventilation and that there are no safety
hazards such as back-drafting of carbon monoxide. To find
a trained and certified Maine Home Performance evaluator,
visit www.MaineHomePerformance.org.
