Every heat pump rebate available to Vermont homeowners in 2026.

HEEHRA Federal Rebate
The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEEHRA) program provides up to $8,000 toward a heat pump for households at or below 150% of area median income, administered by Vermont. Unlike the expired 25C credit, this is an upfront rebate, not a tax credit.
- ✅ Up to $8,000 for heat pumps (income-qualified)
- ✅ Available as a point-of-sale discount where the program has launched
- ✅ Can be combined with Vermont state and utility rebates
Vermont State & Utility Rebate
