What You Need to Know About Maine's Weatherization Rebates

Our next sustainable living workshop will be "What You Need to Know About Maine's Weatherization Rebates" by DeWitt Kimball of Complete Home Evaluation Services on Thursday, March 11, at 7:00 p.m. This workshop is free and open to the public. Please join us!

DeWitt Kimball has worked in the building profession for over two decades and has extensive knowledge of building science, including green home construction. He is working closely with state officials as they roll out the new Efficiency Maine Weatherization Program. Funded by the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the program offers up to $3,000 in incentives for the first 4,000 homes that complete energy-efficiency projects meeting minimum energy savings requirements.

One of the most qualified professional property inspectors in Maine, DeWitt is a certified HERS rater, a BPI and Maine Home Performance with Energy Star energy analyst, as well as a certified mold tester, home inspector, radon tester, and boiler/furnace analyst.

Learn how to qualify for Maine's weatherization rebates while making your home energy efficient and structurally impervious to environmental conditions. You'll also have an opportunity to ask questions about new home construction, remodeling for improved comfort and energy efficiency, and the renovation of historic buildings.

Enjoy free refreshments and handouts.

Space is limited. To reserve a seat or for more information, please call 729-4050 or visit www.FWHorch.com.
