Program offers funds to help Mainers weatherize homes ($3k per home Stimulus $$$)
http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=308002&ac=PHnws

Any homeowner in Maine who wants to weatherize their home now has as many as 3,000 more reasons to do so.

Those who invest in insulation and other home modifications to cut their energy use by at least 25 percent can receive $1,500 from the state; for cutting energy use in half, the grant can be $3,000.

The money is coming from federal stimulus funds.

Jane Funk and Stuart Finkelstein, who own an 1832 farmhouse in Warren, were among the first to receive checks. Before they weatherized, they were burning six to seven cords of wood every winter, while burning 300 gallons of oil, yet still feeling cold.
