Vermont does energy efficiency differently from almost every other state. Instead of leaving it to each utility, Vermont created Efficiency Vermont — a statewide “efficiency utility” that every ratepayer funds and that serves every address in the state, no matter who delivers your electricity. That means the core rebates on weatherization, heat pumps, and water heating are available statewide, and your local electric utility layers its own incentives on top.
And Vermont’s utilities are unusually generous: Green Mountain Power, Burlington Electric, Vermont Electric Cooperative, Washington Electric, Stowe Electric, and the municipal utilities in the VPPSA group all run their own rebate menus — often on heat pumps, EVs, batteries, and even electric yard equipment. This page covers the active statewide and utility programs for 2026, for both homeowners and businesses, so you can see what actually applies at your address instead of guessing.

Residential Energy Rebates in Vermont
For most Vermont homeowners the two biggest levers are weatherization and heat pumps, and both are anchored by Efficiency Vermont statewide — with your electric utility often stacking a second rebate on top of the same project.
Efficiency Vermont (Statewide)
Home Weatherization
Efficiency Vermont’s weatherization rebates cover up to 90% of eligible project cost for qualifying households, and income-eligible Vermonters can get insulation and air-sealing done free through the Weatherization Assistance Program (roughly $10,000 of work) delivered by the state’s Community Action Agencies. In a Vermont winter, sealing and insulating first is what makes everything else — especially a heat pump — actually work.
Heating, Cooling & Water Heating
Statewide rebates run up to $475 on a ductless heat pump and more on ducted systems, plus $600 (with a $400 income bonus) on a heat-pump water heater. Because Efficiency Vermont is statewide, these reach every address — and then your utility’s rebate stacks on top of the same install.
EVs & Financing
Efficiency Vermont offers up to $5,700 on new and used EVs through partner dealerships, and the Home Energy Loan finances efficiency projects up to $25,000 at rates from 0% to 6.99% depending on income — often the difference between doing the whole job and doing half of it.
Utility Rebate Programs — Residential
On top of Efficiency Vermont, your electric utility runs its own incentives. Which utility you have matters, because the menus differ:
Green Mountain Power (GMP)
The state’s largest utility offers income-qualified heat-pump rebates (up to $2,000), EV rebates (up to $1,500), induction cooktops ($200), e-bikes, and one of the most interesting storage programs anywhere: Bring Your Own Device pays $850 per kW of enrolled battery storage, and the Home Battery lease puts two batteries in your basement for about $55 a month while GMP uses them to shave grid peaks.
Burlington Electric Department (BED)
Burlington’s municipal utility runs the deepest residential menu in the state — mini-split and ducted heat pumps (with income bonuses), heat-pump water heaters ($800, plus $400 income), EVs and EV chargers, plus rebates on induction cooktops, e-bikes, heat-pump clothes dryers, and even electric yard equipment. If you’re a BED customer, check it before buying almost any major appliance.
VEC, Washington Electric, Stowe & the VPPSA Municipals
Vermont Electric Cooperative and Washington Electric Co-op offer EV rebates and free or low-cost Level II home chargers for members; Stowe Electric runs heat-pump and induction rebates jointly with Efficiency Vermont; and the eleven municipal utilities in the VPPSA group publish annual exclusive offers — appliance coupons, do-it-yourself weatherization credits, and EV and electric-yard-equipment rebates. The finder above routes you to your specific utility’s list.
Gas & Solar
Vermont Gas Systems customers in the Chittenden, Franklin, and Addison County area get their own equipment rebates (furnaces, boilers, tankless and combi water heaters) and weatherization covering 50–90% of cost depending on income. On solar, Vermont’s value comes primarily through net metering — bill credits for the power your system sends back to the grid — rather than a state income-tax credit; your installer models the net-metering credit for your utility.
Federal and other tax incentives may apply depending on your situation; those change frequently and depend on your circumstances, so we don’t estimate them here. Consult a qualified tax professional and see our Federal Incentives page.
Commercial Energy Rebates in Vermont
For Vermont businesses the same structure holds: Efficiency Vermont handles the statewide custom and prescriptive efficiency incentives, your utility adds its own, and the Vermont Economic Development Authority provides the financing for larger projects.
Efficiency Vermont — Business
Efficiency Vermont’s Business Custom and LED incentives cover lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, controls, and process improvements, with custom incentives sized to the verified savings of the project. Its commercial energy services also include benchmarking, new-construction and renovation support, and weatherization for commercial buildings — the technical backbone most Vermont businesses start with.
Utility & Municipal Commercial Programs
Green Mountain Power & Burlington Electric
GMP runs custom business projects, ductless heat pumps ($400 per condenser), EV and workplace-charging incentives, electric forklift rebates ($3,000 new), and an Economic Development Incentive for larger loads. Burlington Electric offers custom commercial rebates, workplace EV charging (up to $2,500 per port), heat pumps, and electric forklift and mower incentives.
Cooperatives & Municipals
Vermont Electric Cooperative, Washington Electric, and the VPPSA municipals offer commercial EV-charging and electric-equipment rebates — public chargers, forklifts, commercial mowers. For multifamily properties, 3E Thermal provides project-based energy services through Capstone Community Action.
Financing: VEDA
The Vermont Economic Development Authority finances the capital side: the Commercial Energy Loan Program offers variable-rate financing up to $6,000,000 (with fixed-rate options), plus an Agricultural Energy Loan Program for farms and EV-charging loans for workplace and public charging.
Federal Tax Provisions
Federal energy tax credits changed sharply in 2025 — most residential credits ended after December 31, 2025, while some commercial incentives run into 2026. We keep the current details on our Federal Incentives page; confirm your situation with a qualified tax professional.
Commercial Projects: Work With an Energy Professional
Larger Vermont incentives — Efficiency Vermont custom projects and VEDA-financed work — generally start by engaging an energy consultant and getting an incentive commitment before the project begins. Doing that in-house, on top of running the building, is a real lift, and starting work early can forfeit the incentive.
GetEnergyRebates.com connects Vermont commercial building owners and facility managers with regional energy professionals — energy auditors, LED and HVAC installers, and efficiency consultants who work with Efficiency Vermont and the state’s utilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I combine Efficiency Vermont rebates with my utility’s rebates?
Often, yes. Efficiency Vermont administers the statewide energy-efficiency incentives, while your electric utility — Green Mountain Power, Vermont Electric Cooperative, Burlington Electric Department, or another — may offer its own rebates on top, for example on cold-climate heat pumps, EV charging, or battery storage. These are frequently designed to stack, but some measures can only be claimed once. Verify with both Efficiency Vermont and your utility before applying so you know which incentive covers which piece.
Do Vermont commercial rebates require pre-approval before starting work?
For larger and custom projects, usually yes. Efficiency Vermont’s custom commercial incentives generally require you to engage an energy consultant and receive an incentive commitment before the work begins; starting early can forfeit the incentive. Prescriptive rebates on standard equipment are more flexible, but confirm the requirements with Efficiency Vermont before you purchase — it is the single most common mistake on commercial applications.
What’s the best starting point for a commercial efficiency project in Vermont?
Start with an assessment. Efficiency Vermont can connect a business with an energy consultant who scopes the building, identifies the measures with the best payback, and builds the documentation your incentive application will need. The assessment also gives you an independent analysis to justify the spend internally. For most facilities, right-sizing the project around that assessment beats leading with a single equipment replacement.
What about federal tax credits?
Federal and other tax incentives may apply depending on your situation; those change frequently and depend on your circumstances, so we don’t estimate them here. Consult a qualified tax professional and see our Federal Incentives page.
