Through a joint program with your electric utility, you can save up to $475 on a ductless ("mini-split") cold-climate heat pump, or up to $2,200 on a ducted heat pump. A heat-pump water heater earns about $600, and a heat-pump clothes dryer up to $400.
All heat-pump equipment must be ENERGY STAR Cold Climate certified — Vermont design temperatures of -10°F to -15°F require cold-climate-rated equipment.
Income-based bonuses
Moderate-income households may qualify for rebates covering up to 50% of heat-pump cost (up to $8,000 per household). GMP offers an income bonus of about $2,000 per condenser, and VPPSA about $1,000, for eligible households.
