How much you get
Burlington Electric Department (BED) is a municipal utility, not Green Mountain Power — and that split matters here. BED's official Rebate Center lists HRV/ERV as its own item, right alongside heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and bathroom fan controllers, so a rebate for a heat recovery ventilator or energy recovery ventilator does exist for Burlington homeowners.
BED's own ventilation page lists two tiers by equipment efficiency: $750 or $950, plus an additional $300 for income-qualified households. Confirm which tier your specific unit falls into and lock in the current amount before you buy — submit BED's HRV/ERV rebate form or call BED Energy Services at (802) 865-7300.
BED also requires the unit to control both fresh air supply and stale air exhaust as part of a whole-home ventilation strategy — not just a spot bathroom fan — and asks for a contractor invoice marked "Paid in Full" plus your BED account number when you apply. Statewide, Efficiency Vermont's own residential rebate catalog has no separate HRV/ERV line item outside BED's territory, so this is a Burlington-specific opportunity, not something South Burlington, Rutland, Barre, or Montpelier homeowners can also claim through Green Mountain Power.

Common questions
Does Burlington have an HRV/ERV rebate?
Yes. Burlington Electric Department, the city's own municipal utility, lists HRV/ERV as a rebate category in its official Rebate Center. The exact dollar amount is calculated per application rather than published as one flat number, so confirm it before you buy.
Is this the same rebate other Vermont cities get?
No. Burlington is served by Burlington Electric Department, not Green Mountain Power. Efficiency Vermont's statewide residential rebate catalog has no standalone HRV/ERV listing, so this program is specific to BED customers.
