Based on frequently asked questions from our customers.
How do I know if I qualify for a loan to install a new heating system – or weatherize my home?
Vermont Gas may buy down the interest rates on loans for replacing a furnace or boiler in the case of:
• Red-tagged equipment that’s dangerous and must be replaced.
• Customers who are switching from another fuel to natural gas.
• Energy audit customers. You may be offered a low-cost loan for equipment replacement, depending on the operating efficiency of the existing heating equipment.
Q. What’s the process of getting a rebate from Vermont Gas?
Contact Vermont Gas prior to the installation of the equipment to be sure it qualifies. If you’re
switching from another fuel to natural gas, you may be required to provide Vermont Gas with usage history from the past 12 months. After the installation (within two weeks), please call Vermont Gas to schedule a free inspection by a Vermont Gas service technician. In most cases, within two weeks after the inspection, Vermont Gas will send you the rebate check.
Q. What equipment qualifies for rebates?
High efficiency equipment as follows:
Warm Air Furnace 90%-92% AFUE $150
Warm Air Furnace 92.1% and above AFUE $300
Heating hot water boiler 87+% AFUE $400
Heating steam boiler 82+% AFUE $150
Water heater .61+ AFUE $100
Tankless/Instantaneous Water heater $100
Indirect-Fired storage tank $100
To qualify you must be an existing Vermont Gas customer and use a gas certified contractor to install the new equipment.
