"We could not be more excited to partner with Green Mountain Power to bring geothermal energy to Vermont," said Michael Sachse, Dandelion CEO. "Geothermal heating and cooling is clean, efficient, and comfortable. It helps homes electrify and move away from fuel oil. It can cost more upfront, but Green Mountain Power has helped remove that barrier with this new rebate for consumers. Vermont here we come!"
GMP is offering an incentive of $1,800 per ton based on the system's heating output, and Efficiency Vermont is offering an additional $300, for a combined $2,100 per ton. A typical whole-home system is about 4 tons. Dandelion will apply the discounts directly to the customer's purchase price to make it simple to switch from fossil fuel to clean energy.
Geothermal, or ground source heat pumps, provides the cleanest and most efficient heating, air conditioning, and warm water option at significant savings over fuel oil, propane, and natural gas systems. Dandelion Home Geothermal Systems can be purchased for cash or with financing. Homeowners in Vermont who pay cash and switch from fuel oil or propane heating can save approximately 50% in annual heating and cooling operating costs.
Each new installation includes a heat pump and air handler, underground pipes to utilize the earth's natural heating and cooling, and a smart thermostat. Homeowners can see if their home is eligible at www.dandelionenergy.com.
