Did you know you that energy from the sun can heat and cool your home? Solar heat can replace dirty and expensive heating fuels like oil and propane. A typical homeowner can save hundreds of dollars each year with a solar heat pump, and enjoy clean energy air conditioning in the summer, too!
Please note: We are only able to install heat pumps if you are looking to install solar (or more solar, if you’re an existing customer) at the same time. For residents of Chittenden, Washington, Franklin, Grand Isle, Addison, and Lamoille Counties who are looking for just heat pumps (but not solar), please contact Vermont Energy. For residents of Rutland, Windsor, Orange, and Caledonia Counties who are looking for just heat pumps (but not solar), please contact Excel Plumbing & Heating.

Mitsubishi cold-climate heat pumps offer:

- Cooling

The outside unit sits on the ground or mounts to the side of your house. The size of the outdoor unit varies based on the number and size of the indoor units it powers.
Will you save money on your heating bills?
The answer to this depends on the fuel you are currently using to heat your home. If you have baseboard electric heat or a typically more expensive heating fuel, like propane or oil, the savings can be significant. The fluctuation of fuel costs can offset the efficiency gains of a heat pump system. If you’re switching from natural gas, wood, or pellets, a solar heat pump may not lower your heating bills.

Testimonials
Hear from The Beckers about how their solar heat pump has become an integral part of their home.
Comfort
Solar heating and cooling is quiet and comfortable. This smart technology can keep your home consistently warm and cozy through the winter — and dry and cool all summer long. Allergens and dust are filtered out as the heated or cooled air is circulated in the house. The installation is easy and takes typically just one day.
Heat pumps are a great solution for Vermonters. They provide year round comfort at a fair price and are a perfect match for solar!! The feedback we get from our clients is “exceeds expectations, quiet and comfortable."
Clean
Tired of dirty fuel heating your home? Solar systems produce more power than a home needs during the summer, spinning the utility meter backwards and building up a big electricity credit. As a result, you’ll be able to use those extra credits at night and during the shorter days of winter to run your ultra-efficient heating and cooling unit.
The heat pump is great! It has certainly surpassed my expectations regarding the amount of heat it puts out and how well it circulates it, not only in the room in which it is installed but throughout the entire floor of my house.
Savings
Most of us still heat our homes with fuel oil or propane. However, fuel pricing studies have shown that solar heat is the big winner. For that reason, it is now possible to save big with solar at a fraction of the cost of heating fuel! (Your added bonus is guilt-free cooling!)
As a 95-year-old on a fixed income, solar heating and cooling is a great help. I'll save thousands of dollars every year by not burning all that propane — and that's with the current drop in fuel prices. The next time they spike again, I'll be sitting even prettier. I am like all Vermonters who bristle at heating our homes with dirty, expensive fuel oil or propane. I turned to clean solar energy to heat my home in the winter and get guilt-free air conditioning in the summer. Solar heating is here in Vermont in a big way.
