Vermont

The greenest rebate structure in the region.

Vermont's 2026 rebate package emphasizes weatherization: Efficiency Vermont is offering 90% cash back on insulation and air sealing through the end of 2026, the most generous envelope program anywhere in New England. Heat pump rebates are more modest ($475-$2,200), but Green Mountain Power's Powerwall program still pays homeowners to own a battery.

What an oil-to-heat-pump rebate stack actually looks like.

GMP, BED, and Vermont Electric Cooperative layer per-kWh adders for the supplemental electricity load. Efficiency Vermont 0% APR financing covers the install.
