When you have a drafty home, you aren't just losing heat - you're losing money.
As Vermonters, we are no strangers to drafts, rooms that are too hot or too cold, and high electricity bills.
Your house works as a system of interdependent parts. Changes in any one part of the home can impact the performance of the home as a whole. When the parts all work together in an optimal way, you have a durable, comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient home. Efficiency Vermont recommends an integrated whole-house approach that looks at your house as a system.
Efficiency Vermont offers up to $2,000 in incentives per household to help Vermonters pay for energy efficiency home improvements completed by a certified Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® contractor. Installing a new heating system, adding more insulation to your attic, or buying replacement windows may fix part of your energy consumption issues; however, better results can be had by taking an integrated, whole-house approach to reducing your home’s energy use.
If your home, like most Vermont homes, has room for improvement, a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR contractor can help you decide where to start. A certified contractor evaluates your home using state-of-the-art equipment and recommends comprehensive home energy improvements. Learn more.
