Save Like a Mainer
BACON'S

SAVING ENERGY AND MONEY. IT'S WHAT WE DO.

John and Sheila Bacon's house used to be too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. But after receiving a
PACE Loan from Efficiency Maine, they embarked on a whole house energy upgrade that improved their home’s comfort and energy efficiency. This winter, the Bacons look forward to saving more than 50% in heating costs.

IN MAINE, BUSINESSES TAKE PRIDE IN DOING THINGS

THE RIGHT WAY

Craft beer is best enjoyed anywhere from 45°-55° F, but it takes a lot of energy and money to keep it cool during the production process. That’s why Shipyard Brewing Company consulted with Efficiency Maine to receive an incentive of nearly $8,000 to help them purchase new, energy efficient equipment. Now the beer is even more delicious and they're saving over $5,700 per year in energy costs.

TOWN OF STRONG

 

 

 

 

IN STRONG, SAVING IS

IN OUR BLOOD

One of the smallest villages in Maine is well on its way to becoming one of the most energy efficient. With more than $37,000 in incentives from Efficiency Maine, the Town of Strong is making significant improvements to its municipal buildings to save taxpayers $10,000 per year while employing local contractors.

COOK's

 

 

IN MAINE, KNOWING HOW TO GET MORE FOR LESS IS

A WAY OF LIFE.

When Diane and Mark Cook set off on a home improvement project, they thought it would also make sense to have a home energy audit. As a result, the Cooks made a series of energy saving improvements through Efficiency Maine that now saves them over 55% per year in energy costs.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS GOOD FOR OUR STATE

AND OUR CHILDREN.

Chilling the world’s best chocolate ice cream is quite a job. But with over $32,000 in incentives from Efficiency Maine, Gifford’s Ice Cream installed new freezer compressors to cool the ice cream faster and more efficiently than ever before. Now everyone can taste the savings.

A MAINE BUSINESS THAT WASTES MONEY IS

JUST UNNATURAL.

Before Old Town Canoes and Kayaks expanded their operation, they consulted with Efficiency Maine about ways to save on their energy costs. By installing high-efficiency lighting and a new gas-fired oven, they were able to save over $40,000 per year and retain a number of jobs. Now Old Town passes on the savings to fellow paddlers.

Reny's

 

 

 

 

 

I'M HERE FOR MAINE BECAUSE MAINE HAS ALWAYS BEEN HERE FOR ME.

When Bob’s dad founded Renys 62 years ago, he couldn’t have imagined it would become one of Maine’s favorite department stores, let alone one of the state’s most energy efficient. But after receiving more than $80,000 in incentives from Efficiency Maine, Renys upgraded their stores to help them save on energy costs and focus on keeping their prices famously low.
