How HVAC replacement costs vary in Vermont
State-specific code or insurance rule: Vermont's Plumber's Examining Board uniquely licenses Refrigeration Technicians for any refrigerant work under 26 V.S.A. §2191 — and Efficiency Vermont's HP incentive of up to $4,000 per home for cold-climate ductless or ducted heat pumps drives the highest per-capita HP installation rate among the lower 48 states.
