We know that you need support in reducing energy costs now more than ever, and we will continue to launch new offers and programs over the course of the summer. In the mean time, our customer support team is available to help you remotely. Contact us at (888) 921-5990 or info@efficiencyvermont.com.

This program is fully subscribed through 2020, and enrollment is paused until further notice. You may still contact customer support to be screened for eligibility, and Efficiency Vermont will reach out to you when program enrollment opens again.
The proportion of your household income that goes toward electric bills each month may make you eligible to receive free products and appliances to help lower your bills. These may include refrigerators, wood and pellet stoves, freezers, and clothes washers, dehumidifiers, heat pumps, and heat pump water heaters. Contact us to confirm your eligibility.

Energy Tips for Renters
If you’re a renter who exceeds the income limits for free products and appliances (listed at top of this page), talk to your landlord. See if they’re willing to contact us, and we can help determine if their property qualifies for free or discounted weatherization services and products. Energy efficiency upgrades often lower costs for both renters and landlords, so they can make good financial sense for everyone involved.
