Heat Pump Installers in Burlington, VT

Find certified, pre-verified heat pump installation contractors serving Burlington and the greater Chittenden County area.

Burlington is a national leader in renewable energy, powered by 100% renewable electricity, making heat pumps here the cleanest heating choice available anywhere in the country. Vermont's cold winters — with average lows in single digits — require properly specified cold-climate heat pumps, and the city's contractor community has deep expertise in hyper-performing Mitsubishi and Fujitsu systems. Efficiency Vermont offers some of the most generous per-unit rebates in the Northeast, and Burlington Electric Department adds its own incentives for customers who electrify. With natural gas penetration below 30%, most Burlington homes currently use oil, propane, or electric resistance heat — all of which are far more expensive to operate than a modern heat pump.
