Efficiency Vermont offers up to 90% cash back on qualifying weatherization projects. Air sealing and insulating lowers bills, improves comfort year-round, and makes heat pumps work better and cost less to run.
These increased weatherization incentives are available through the end of 2026 (or while funding lasts), so timing matters.
Why do this first
Weatherizing before adding solar or a heat pump shrinks the equipment you need — a smaller heat pump, a smaller solar array — which lowers total project cost. It is the classic "efficiency first" sequence.
