Last October, Efficiency Maine launched a limited-time promotion that can help long-term care facilities across the state upgrade their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), LED lighting, and refrigeration systems to high-efficiency equipment. 

Officials with the program say that there a half dozen projects being developed, and they anticipate receiving additional applications. They encourage facilities to take advantage of this opportunity, noting that funding is still available. 

MHCA reminds members that the deadline to apply for project assistance is January 31, 2022. Accepted projects must be completed by July 1, 2022.  
Assisted living/residential care facilities, continuing care community centers, and nursing homes are eligible to apply for incentives under this funding opportunity. For more information, visit Long-Term Care Facilities - Efficiency Maine
