The Energy Co-op service department offers whole house heat pump heating and cooling systems that use air-source technology to heat and cool through the existing ductwork of your home. Watch this short video to see the components of a ducted heat pump system.
Heat pumps are catching on fast in the Green Mountain State. They are very energy efficient and require little maintenance, so it's no wonder they're becoming popular with Vermonters looking for affordable, year-round heating and air conditioning.When you install a heat pump in your home, you enjoy these benefits:
Cold-climate heat pumps use electricity and a refrigerant to transfer heat from one space to another. Heat pumps have two components connected by thin copper lines.
An outdoor compressor, mounted to the side of your home.
A wall-mounted blower and temperature sensor inside your home.
For added convenience, our heat pumps are operated with an easy-to-use remote control, included with each unit. This simple system keeps your Vermont home comfortable year-round.
Cold-climate heat pumps are also known as “ductless mini-splits” or “air source heat pumps.” Whatever you want to call yours – a ductless unit, a mini-split heating and air conditioning system or a heat pump – we call it year-round energy savings and comfortable homes for Vermonters just like you!
Heat Pump Installation
Cold-climate heat pumps are easy to install. You don’t have to dig up your yard or have major duct work installed in your home. The connection between indoor and outdoor units requires only a three-inch hole through an exterior wall. The entire installation is normally completed by our certified technicians in a few hours.

But the Energy Co-op of Vermont is a bit different. Our mission is to help our members save money on heating and cooling their homes while reducing their...
It’s easy to get discouraged or confused when you try to understand federal and state regulations governing the use, subsidies and requirements for renewable energy.

The most common type of heat pump in Vermont is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the...
"We are very pleased with our heat pump and heat pump water heater. Joe and the rest of the staff at the Energy Co-op of Vermont were very professional. They were honest about what their products would do, and about our options. (For example, we may wish to add a second heat pump in the future because of how our house is laid out. Despite that, we rarely use our oil furnace now.) We are enjoying big savings and much lower fossil fuel use, since we have solar PV. I have recommended the Energy Co-op of Vermont to others.

"Last September, the Energy Co-op installed two heat pumps for us – one to heat and cool our downstairs living space, one to heat our hot water. We are very, very happy with both units and highly recommend them. Our oil use has gone down by about 450 gallons a year, which gives us an excellent return on our investment.

"We wanted to have a positive impact on our carbon footprint and heard that cold climate heat pumps are very efficient and work well for both heating and cooling. The Energy Co-op of Vermont helped me determine the best heat pump system for my home. They were very timely and managed the installation process seamlessly. Also, I was able to take advantage of generous incentives from Efficiency Vermont, Vermont Electric Co-op and the Energy Co-op to make the cost more affordable.

"The Heat Pump is working good, remote controller set to 74 degrees, house indoors temp reads 75 degrees, outside temp 92 degrees. What’s nice is this unit knows when to cool or heat the house automatically. Tell Nick thanks for setting up the unit on that hot muggy day and answering all my annoying questions.
