Rutland is Green Mountain Power territory, and like South Burlington, its appliance rebate runs entirely through the statewide Efficiency Vermont program rather than a separate municipal one. The headline figure is up to $400 back on a qualifying heat pump clothes dryer or washer/dryer combo unit, plus smaller rebates on smart thermostats and dehumidifiers you can file for in the same application.
Rutland's housing stock is older on average than South Burlington's, a lot of it Victorian-era homes downtown and in the historic district with basement laundry that was never designed around a dryer vent. That's exactly the case for a heat pump dryer, no outside exhaust needed since it condenses moisture internally, though you should budget for a longer cycle, typically 20 to 40 minutes more than a conventional dryer.

Rutland County has meaningfully higher rates of income-qualifying households than the Burlington metro area, which makes Efficiency Vermont's low-income voucher, up to $1,200 toward one eligible appliance, worth checking before assuming the standard $400 rebate is your only option. The voucher covers refrigerators and freezers as well as clothes washers, not just the heat pump dryer category.
On the kitchen side, an induction cooktop or range isn't part of Efficiency Vermont's named appliance rebate list, but it's worth considering during a range replacement regardless: faster boiling, a cooktop surface that cools quickly, and the need for magnetic cookware, worth checking your current pots with a fridge magnet first.
