VGS has launched a new program to install Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps. These heat pump systems can provide heating and cooling for an entire home or can be deployed in specific rooms. VGS’s team of expert technicians will work with customers to develop the right system for their home and budget.

“We are excited to offer Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps,” said Neale Lunderville, President & CEO of VGS. “The heat pumps we’re installing are well-suited to all of Vermont’s seasons and our team of experts will help design a system to meet your energy goals. As demand for this technology increases, we’re excited to do our part to deploy them across the region.”

When you buy or lease heat pump equipment from VGS, you’re getting a whole lot more than just a great way to heat and cool your home or heat your hot water. You’ll get affordable lease and purchase options, a service team that is a phone call away, and an integrated approach to help you reliably keep your home comfortable all year long, while also cutting carbon.

Heat pumps draw warmth from the air, then amplify and transfer the heat to where it’s needed. These electric systems consist of an outdoor condenser unit and indoor air handler. VGS started installing heat pump technology in 2021, with the launch of Heat Pump Water Heaters. In 2023, VGS began offering customers Centrally Ducted Heat Pumps. Centrally ducted systems utilize a pre-existing furnace and ductwork. This allows the system to heat and cool your home where ductwork is present, which often covers the entire home.

Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pumps do not require ductwork and can be integrated with a hydronic boiler system. They can also be used as standalone heating and cooling systems. Depending on layout, a single unit may only be suited for heating and cooling an individual space within your home. Multiple Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump units may be required to heat and cool the entirety of your home. As with all heating and cooling systems, heat pumps perform better in well-insulated and air-sealed homes.

VGS makes it easy for you by incorporating qualified utility rebates from Efficiency Vermont and your electric distribution utility into the sale and lease prices. Burlington Electric Department customers are entitled to an enhanced rebate. VGS also includes service plans in leases, so you get peace of mind along with an easy monthly payment.
