What to know about the Vermont numbers

  • Rebates not checked yet. We haven't checked heat pump rebates in Vermont yet, so the numbers here leave them out. Utility and state programs can take thousands off a heat pump, so ask your utility and your contractor what's available.
  • Some average prices. 74% of Vermont ZIP codes here are priced on a current utility tariff; the rest use the utility's average price from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (about two years old). Each utility page says which.
