Homeowners in Maine are rushing to buy energy-efficient heat pumps before the $2,000 tax credits expire at the end of the year, and with winter coming up, it's a great time to have them installed.
"It's never going to be cheaper to install a heat pump than it is today," Shawn LaPlante, a managing partner at LaPlante Home Services, told WGME 13 News.
There are many great reasons to purchase a heat pump, including saving money on electric bills, helping the planet, and staying warm throughout the winter without using harmful gas furnaces or boilers.
If you're ready to upgrade, TCD's HVAC Explorer is a one-stop shop for all your heat pump needs and can help you find a reliable contractor and system that can cut your energy bills in half. You'll also find $0-down subscription plans if you'd rather lease than buy, so there's something for everyone.
According to Allegiance Heating and Cooling, heat pumps are 300% to 400% more efficient than gas furnaces because they transfer heat rather than generate it, resulting in significant energy bill savings.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory reported that most people will see savings of $300 to $650 a year, depending on their heat pump's efficiency.
You can use the HVAC Explorer to discover and connect with TCD's trusted partners, such as Palmetto. Not only can you save up to 50% on heating and cooling with a better system, but you can also get a new HVAC for $0 down and subscription payments as low as $99 per month.
You'll get 12 years of free maintenance, reducing your overall lifetime expenses while avoiding major upfront fees. It's a win-win for your peace of mind and wallet.

If you're in the mood to cut your energy bills even more, installing solar panels is one of the best ways to do so, as some homeowners pay virtually nothing while enjoying a stable source of electricity. TCD's Solar Explorer can help you shop for the right system through our vetted partners, such as EnergySage and Palmetto.
Whether you purchase a heat pump, solar panels, or both, make sure to speed up your installation plans, as the tax incentives will soon disappear.
"The approaching deadline has caused a sense of urgency for some folks, as the tax credits will only be eligible to those who have bought and installed heat pumps before December 31," LaPlante told WGME 13 News.
