Richmond Still Runs on Oil and Propane
Richmond is a rural town, and its heating shows it. According to Census data compiled for the town's energy planning, about 72% of Richmond homes heat primarily with fuel oil, kerosene or propane: roughly 40% oil or kerosene and 32% propane. That's a lot of fuel deliveries, and a lot of exposure to fuel price swings.
The town has set an ambitious goal for change. Richmond's 2026 Town Plan targets 93% of residences using heat pumps by 2050, with weatherization and efficiency upgrades alongside.
We help Richmond homeowners get there one house at a time:
- Add a cold-climate heat pump to carry most of the heating season, and keep your oil or propane furnace or boiler as backup for the coldest nights
- Ductless mini-splits for older village homes and farmhouses without ducts. See ductless mini-splits.
- Ducted heat pumps for homes that already have a furnace and ductwork. See ducted heat pumps.
- Tune-ups for the oil and propane equipment you keep, so it's ready when you need it
Village, Jonesville and the Hills
Richmond's town plan focuses new growth in the village, around the Round Church, Bridge Street and Huntington Road, and in Jonesville along Route 2, while much of the rest of town stays rural, agricultural and forested. Village homes are often older and close together. Hillside and rural homes sit on longer driveways, with tanks in the yard and more exposure to wind and power outages. We size every system to the house and talk through backup heat for outage-prone roads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a heat pump worth it if I heat with oil or propane?
For most Richmond homes, yes. A cold-climate heat pump can take over much of the heating season, so your oil or propane system runs far less. We'll give you an honest estimate for your house.
Do you serve Jonesville and the rural parts of Richmond?
Yes. We cover the village, Jonesville and the outlying roads.
How quickly can you get to Richmond?
Richmond is about 40 minutes from our Berlin shop via I-89, the closest of the Chittenden County towns we serve. We answer emergency calls 24/7.
Should I keep my furnace or boiler as backup?
Many customers do, especially on roads that lose power in storms. We set up the heat pump and the fuel-fired system to work together.
