Have you heard? The City of Burlington is launching Better Homes Burlington, a pilot program to help homeowners with the installation of an air source heat pump. The City is offering zero percent loans up to $10,000 for up to 20 homeowners.
Why consider an air source heat pump?
Heat pumps
- Provide both heating and cooling,
- Efficiently provide comfortable temperatures in your home year-round, and
- Will reduce your carbon footprint.
Find out if you qualify
The Better Homes Burlington program coordinator can help you determine if you meet the eligibility requirements for the loan. And, if you’re considering a deeper energy efficiency retrofit of your home, the coordinator can also assist with information on existing incentive programs, financing options and the benefits of a Home EnerGuide Assessment.
Program information
The application process will open in September. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog post for the announcement. Applications will be accepted until the end of January 2024 or when the program is fully subscribed, whichever comes first.

Connection to climate change
Better Homes Burlington is an action under the City’s community Climate Action Plan, approved by City Council in 2020 following their climate emergency declaration. Burning fossil fuels to heat our homes contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. This program is one of many steps needed to reach our goal to be a net carbon neutral community by 2050.
Take Action Burlington to transition away from the use of fossil fuels. Collectively we can make a difference to reduce our community’s carbon footprint!
