Vermont Gas - Residential Energy Efficiency Program
Administered by Vermont Gas
Vermont Gas offers instant rebates at point-of-purchase when you install high-efficiency natural gas heating or water heating equipment through a participating contractor and distributor—rebate amounts range from $100 to $800 depending on equipment type and efficiency level, with higher rebates for top-tier efficiency models. You can also finance qualifying equipment and weatherization projects up to $15,000 at 0% APR over 60 months through Green Mountain Credit Union. Contact your natural gas licensed contractor to confirm the rebate has been applied to your final cost, or reach out to Efficiency@vermontgas.com with questions.
As a natural gas licensed contractor, you can offer customers instant rebates by purchasing qualifying equipment from one of Vermont Gas's participating distributors (including BellSimons, Blodgett Supply, Ferguson, F.W. Webb, and others), where rebate amounts are automatically applied at the time of purchase. All equipment must meet Vermont Gas efficiency requirements verified through AHRI Certification Directory or ENERGY STAR, and Vermont Gas performs periodic equipment verification through photos, invoices, or inspections to ensure compliance.
Vermont Gas administers instant point-of-purchase rebates for residential heating and water heating equipment installed through participating distributors, with rebate amounts ranging from $100 to $800 based on equipment type and efficiency tier; these amounts are guaranteed through December 31, 2026, after which they may change. The program targets natural gas customers within Vermont Gas's service area and requires all equipment to be installed by state-licensed natural gas contractors; Vermont Gas also partners with Green Mountain Credit Union to offer 0% APR financing up to $15,000 and conducts periodic verification of installed equipment through photos, invoices, or inspections.
