Do I automatically qualify for a PSE rebate if I install a heat pump?

No. PSE rebate eligibility can depend on your utility account, home type, current heating source, equipment selection, installer requirements, documentation, and application timing.

Can Home Comfort Alliance help with PSE rebate paperwork?

Home Comfort Alliance can help homeowners review potential rebate paths, understand project documentation, and identify next steps. Final eligibility and approval are determined by PSE and the program rules in effect at the time of installation and application.

Which Puget Sound communities does Home Comfort Alliance serve?

Home Comfort Alliance serves homeowners across Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Everett, Kent, Renton, Federal Way, Redmond, Lynnwood, Puyallup, Bremerton, and surrounding Puget Sound communities.

  Sam and Mario did a fantastic job installing our new gas furnace. They demonstrated great customer service and the attention to detail: they put new gas valve, power supply for in-duct purifier, condensing water pump, new filter cabinet + filter that Sam had to step out to shop for, etc. They even upgraded our thermostat's wiring to match the new 2-stage furnace (without hard-defining a timed cutoff on the filter board). I appreciate very much that they did these without us having to ask or monitor, but rather to do a high-quality job (they worked for 6+ hours and took care of everything!). Thank you folks for the great job!
We also a good experience with the initial consultant (Vince) who did a thorough job of estimating our new furnace specs. We found them through Costco (Lennox). Our pricing included the 15% costco cash card; their overall quote was reasonable and competitive as well (lower than some of the other quotes we had). We are very happy with the install and service, and would happily recommend this business.

  We had an urgent/emergent heat pump issue early in the morning causing power surges in our home. Called Home Comfort Alliance prior to business hours and was able to talk to a representative who passed our message along. Got a call back at 7:00 AM and was told a senior technician would be out between 9-12. He arrived by 10:15 AM and diagnosed and repaired the problem within 45 minutes. We’ve used this company before for our heat pump and they’ve always been timely, professional and pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend.

  Josh arrived on time ready to work early in the am.  He educated me on a failing capacitor and was able to switch it out while cleaning up the carbon buildup in the gas furnace. He was great at selling additional services by asking about my hot water heater.  One of those,"I'll get to it someday" tasks of draining the hot water tank to get out mineral and metal at the bottom allowing the tank to work more efficiently and extend the tanks life.  He was able to complete it while here and for a reasonable fee since he was already here.  Good experience all around!  I would highly recommend Josh and Home Comfort Alliance.

PSE Heat Pump & HVAC Rebates | Puget Sound | Home Comfort Alliance

Confirm eligibility before choosing equipment. Rebates are not guaranteed. PSE determines final eligibility, and rules can depend on your utility account, existing heating source, home type, equipment model, contractor path, installation date, and documentation. Federal 25C tax credit language should not be promoted as a current 2026 installation incentive because IRS guidance says the credit is not allowed for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.

Start here

Which rebate path might fit your home?

A strong rebate strategy starts with your existing system. Use these common scenarios to understand what to ask about during your Home Comfort Alliance consultation.

Current system

Electric resistance heat

Baseboard, wall heater, cable heat, electric hydronic, or electric forced-air heat may point to an electric resistance to air-source heat pump rebate path.

Ask about heat pump conversion

Current system

Natural gas furnace

Homes with PSE natural gas or dual fuel may need to review hybrid heat pump rules or income-qualified fuel-switching options. See gas to heat pump conversion.

Ask about hybrid or fuel switching

Current system

Older heat pump

Replacing an existing qualifying all-electric heat pump may fit PSE’s heat pump-to-heat pump upgrade path if equipment and warranty rules are met.

Ask about heat pump upgrade

Project type

Water heating or controls

Heat pump water heaters and smart thermostats may have separate rebate rules, deadlines, qualified-product lists, and application steps.

Ask about add-on savings

Current rebate snapshot

PSE rebates homeowners should verify before installation

This summary is designed for quick comparison. It is not a guarantee of approval, and it should be confirmed with Home Comfort Alliance and PSE before equipment is purchased or installed.

Project path	PSE-listed amount	Who it may fit	Verify details
Electric resistance to air-source heat pump Heat pump conversion	$1,500 standard rebate; $2,400 Efficiency Boost for qualifying income-eligible customers.	Current PSE single-family residential electric customers replacing a qualifying primary electric resistance system with qualifying ducted or ductless heat pump equipment.	View PSE conversion rebate
Hybrid heat pump system Dual-fuel HVAC	$1,500 standard rebate; $2,400 Efficiency Boost for qualifying income-eligible customers.	Current PSE single-family natural gas or dual-fuel customers with a qualifying primary natural gas furnace. Electric-only customers do not qualify for this path.	View PSE hybrid rebate
Heat pump-to-heat pump upgrade Replacement system	$1,500 standard rebate; $2,400 Efficiency Boost for qualifying income-eligible customers.	Current PSE single-family residential electric customers replacing an eligible centrally ducted all-electric air-source heat pump that is outside its original manufacturer warranty period.	View PSE heat pump upgrade

Qualifying PSE single-family residential natural gas customers who meet income guidelines and replace natural gas heating with qualifying ducted or ductless heat pump equipment.	View PSE income-qualified heat pump rebate
Heat pump water heater Water heating	$1,000 for qualifying Tier 3 or Tier 4 heat pump water heaters; $1,100 for qualifying Efficiency Boost customers.	PSE electric customers with qualifying equipment, required invoice/receipt documentation, and a timely application. PSE currently lists a 30-day post-installation application window.	View PSE water heater rebate
Smart thermostat Comfort controls	$75 standard instant rebate; Efficiency Boost rebate listed up to $175.	Current PSE residential customers with qualifying PSE electric or natural gas heat and qualifying connected thermostat equipment.	View PSE thermostat rebate

PSE states its current heating rebates apply to existing single-family properties only; single-family new construction, multifamily properties with five or more attached units, and commercial accounts are not eligible for those listed heating rebates. PSE also advises allowing processing time.

How HCA helps

A simpler way to plan your upgrade

Rebates can be valuable, but the details matter. Home Comfort Alliance helps you compare eligible system paths, understand documentation, and avoid building your project around an incentive that may not apply.

Schedule Rebate Help Explore Heat Pump Installation

Confirm your current system

We look at your existing heating source, home setup, and PSE service so the right rebate path is considered from the start.

Review qualifying upgrade options

We help you compare heat pump, hybrid, water heating, thermostat, ductwork, and electrical considerations for your home.

Plan documentation before install

Invoices, installation dates, model numbers, qualified-product lists, and contractor requirements can all affect rebate applications.

Smart upgrade options

Energy-efficient improvements worth discussing

The best upgrade is the one that fits your home, comfort goals, rebate eligibility, and long-term ownership costs.

Best for year-round comfort

Air-source heat pumps

A heat pump provides heating and cooling in one system and can be a strong fit for many Puget Sound homes.

Learn about heat pump installation

Best for some gas homes

Hybrid heat pump systems

A hybrid system pairs an electric heat pump with a natural gas furnace when the home and rebate path make sense.

Compare furnace replacement options

What PSE heat pump rebates are currently available?

Do I automatically qualify if I install a heat pump?

No. Eligibility can depend on your PSE account, home type, current heating system, new equipment, contractor requirements, installation date, and documentation.

Can electric baseboard heat qualify for a rebate?

Possibly. PSE lists an electric resistance to air-source heat pump conversion rebate for qualifying single-family residential electric customers replacing eligible primary electric resistance heat.

Can a gas furnace home qualify?

Possibly. PSE lists a hybrid heat pump rebate for qualifying natural gas or dual-fuel customers and a separate income-qualified natural gas to heat pump rebate path.

IRS guidance states the 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is not allowed for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Ask a tax professional about prior-year projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Heat Pump Rebate & Tax Credit FAQs

Rebate eligibility can vary by utility, city, existing heating system, equipment, income qualification, and program rules.
These answers can help you understand where to start.

How do I know which rebate program applies to my home?

Start with the electric and natural-gas utilities shown on your bills, then confirm your city boundary, current heating fuel, household income, equipment type, and contractor requirements. A mailing address alone does not determine which utility or local rebate program applies.

Can I combine utility, city, state, and manufacturer rebates?

Sometimes. Rebate stacking rules are program-specific. Some local programs may be combined with qualifying utility or manufacturer incentives, while others specifically prohibit combining certain offers. Confirm stacking rules before equipment is ordered or installed.

Do I need an approved or participating contractor?

For many heat-pump programs, yes. PSE, Snohomish PUD, Tacoma Power, and several city programs require a participating, registered, or approved contractor. Seattle City Light heat-pump discounts also generally flow through participating distributors and contractors. Contractor requirements should be confirmed before installation.

What PSE heat pump rebates are available in 2026?

PSE currently lists several residential heat-pump rebate pathways. Examples include a
$1,500 standard rebate or
$2,400 Efficiency Boost rebate
for several qualifying heat-pump projects. PSE also lists a
$4,000 income-qualified rebate
for certain natural-gas-to-electric heat-pump conversions.Program requirements, equipment eligibility, rebate amounts, and available funding can change, so eligibility should be confirmed before equipment is selected or purchased.

Does every heat pump qualify for a rebate?

No. Eligibility can depend on your utility service, existing primary heating system, home type, equipment model, efficiency ratings, contractor pathway, installation date, and required documentation. The applicable utility or program administrator makes the final eligibility determination.

Are there income-qualified heat pump rebate programs?

Yes. Several programs offer enhanced incentives for qualifying households, including PSE Efficiency Boost, Energize Shoreline, Peninsula Light income-qualified programs, Washington State HEAR, Weatherization Assistance, and other locally administered programs. Income limits, funding, application steps, and eligible equipment vary by program.

Are federal heat pump tax credits still available in 2026?

The federal Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is not available for qualifying property placed in service after
December 31, 2025.
Homeowners who completed a qualifying project during 2025 may still want to review IRS requirements when preparing their 2025 tax return.Home Comfort Alliance does not provide tax advice. Consult IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional regarding tax-credit eligibility.

Should I apply for a rebate before installing my new system?

Check the program requirements first. Some incentives require preapproval, enrollment, a workshop, an approved contractor, or other steps before equipment is purchased or installation begins. Completing the project first can make a homeowner ineligible for certain programs.

Still Not Sure Which Rebate Applies?

Home Comfort Alliance can help you identify the utility, city, state, and income-qualified programs that may apply before you choose your equipment.
