How much you get
Efficiency Vermont's Home Performance with ENERGY STAR program covers air sealing and insulation. General-track households can get 75% of project cost, up to $3,000. Income-qualified households get a richer incentive — up to 90% cash back under limited-time Department of Public Service funding, moving to a flat up to $7,000 cap effective July 1, 2026. Households below 80% of area median income who haven't received free weatherization in the past 15 years may instead qualify for a fully free retrofit through the state's Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP), run by regional community action agencies.
