Rebate guides for every Upper Valley town
Twenty-two towns across four counties and two states. Each one has its own housing stock, its own utility and its own program — find yours.
Four counties, two programs
Grafton County, NH
The New Hampshire side of the northern Upper Valley — Hanover and Lebanon on the river, and the hill towns behind them where the housing gets older and the electric co-op territory begins.
Grafton County rebate guideSullivan County, NH
South of Lebanon: Claremont’s mill-era housing stock, the Connecticut River towns, and the ridge communities around Croydon and Grantham.
Sullivan County rebate guideWindsor County, VT
The Vermont side of the core Upper Valley: White River Junction and Hartford, Norwich, Woodstock, Hartland and Windsor, plus the White River valley towns.
Windsor County rebate guideOrange County, VT
North along the river and up into the hills — Thetford, Fairlee, Bradford, and the hill towns of Strafford, Chelsea and Corinth.

Norwich and Hanover are a mile and a bridge apart. They share a high school district, a grocery run and a commuting pattern, and for the purposes of home energy rebates they might as well be in different countries.
A Norwich homeowner goes through Efficiency Vermont, gets up to 90% cash back on weatherization, and must use an Efficiency Excellence Network contractor. A Hanover homeowner goes through NHSaves, gets 75% to a $6,000–$8,000 cap, and must use an NHSaves participating contractor. The percentages differ, the caps differ, the deadlines differ, and the approved contractor lists differ.
Almost every regional trade — insulation crews, HVAC companies, general contractors — works both sides of the river. Not all of them hold both credentials. That mismatch is the single most common way Upper Valley homeowners lose rebate money, and it is entirely avoidable if you check before you sign.
Your rebate is determined by where the house is, not where you work, bank or shop. A Vermont resident who hires a superb Lebanon insulation crew that is not EEN-listed can forfeit the whole 90% incentive. A New Hampshire resident cannot claim Vermont’s 90% no matter how close the bridge is.
