Naturally Cool VT has been providing an alternative to home cooling for homeowners since 2012. Every year we install dozens of QuietCool whole house fans for customers all over Vermont, New Hampshire and New York. With our quiet whole house fan systems you can cool your entire house and attic for one tenth the electricity cost that a single air conditioner may cool just one room! And it does it all with FRESH air! Replacing all the air in your home once ever 10 to 15 minutes. You don't have to go to bed in a hot, stale air bedroom every summer day when the average night time temperature in VT in July and August is 64 degrees? Bring that cool, fresh air in through your windows while you suck that hot air out, and dramatically cool your very hot attic at the same time. All done very energy efficiently and a relatively low cost.
The Acorn Renewable Energy Co-op is a member owned business serving the residents of the 23 towns of Addison County, Vermont, as well as nearby towns in Rutland and Chittenden Counties. The Co-op, which emerged from our umbrella organization, the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN), was founded in June 2008 to transition area communities from their near total dependence on fossil fuels to a greater reliance on affordable renewable energy strategies. As the Co-op has grown, these programs have expanded to include biomass heat, cold climate heat pumps, solar PV, solar hot water, community solar and other heating, energy and efficiency products and services.
The State of Vermont does not require home improvement contractors to obtain licenses. To ensure the protection and property's safety, homeowners must discuss their projects with their regional office permit specialist.
2015 IBC, the 2012 IPC, and the 2017 NEC are in effect in Vermont and there is not a statewide building code adopted in the state for any single family home improvements to be performed.
