It’s no secret that you can save money and energy by insulating and air sealing your home. But did you know you can get rebates and loans to help cover the upfront costs, too? Efficiency Vermont and its utility partners provide cash back on DIY projects, weatherization, heat pumps, and more. Income-eligible households can also take advantage of the state’s free weatherization program or apply for a low-interest energy loan to break the project up into monthly payments.
Eligible households can get money back for repairs that are necessary before weatherization, including ductwork,
electrical, plumbing, remediation (asbestos / mold / vermiculite), ventilation, and repairs to the foundation, roof, siding, and windows.

One such financing option is the Weatherization Repayment Assistance Program (WRAP). In addition to an affordable interest rate, WRAP offers customers the convenience of making loan payments right through their utility bill.
