Heat Pump Installation in South Burlington, VT

South Burlington’s housing is newer and more varied than Burlington’s, which changes the heat pump conversation considerably. Homes in the Dorset Street corridor and the Airport area – many built in the 1990s through 2010s – typically have gas or propane forced-air systems where a ducted heat pump replacement is the most economical path. Neighborhoods along Spear Street and in the older Williston Road area often have oil baseboard or older forced-air systems that are candidates for ductless replacement.

South Burlington, Vermont homeowners installing cold-climate heat pumps can access Efficiency Vermont rebates of up to $600 per qualifying unit plus the federal IRA 30% tax credit up to $2,000. Langlois Plumbing, Heating & AC LLC installs Mitsubishi and Daikin systems throughout South Burlington. Most South Burlington heat pump installations are scheduled within two weeks of the site assessment.
