PSE Rebates for Heat Pumps & Energy-Efficient Home Upgrades

Upgrading your heating, cooling or water-heating system may be more affordable with current Puget Sound Energy rebates. Home Comfort Alliance helps Puget Sound homeowners understand available PSE rebates, compare qualifying equipment, and plan energy-efficient home improvements before installation begins.

Whether you are replacing electric baseboard heat, upgrading an older heat pump, considering a hybrid heating system, or switching to a heat pump water heater, we can help you identify the rebate pathway that may fit your home.

Important PSE rebate notice: Rebate amounts, equipment requirements, income limits, contractor requirements, available funding and program deadlines are subject to change. PSE makes the final determination regarding eligibility, approval and payment. Confirm current requirements with Home Comfort Alliance and Puget Sound Energy before purchasing equipment or beginning work.

Up to $2,400 with qualifying PSE Efficiency Boost

Eligible PSE electric customers replacing an out-of-warranty, centrally ducted all-electric heat pump may qualify for PSE’s heat pump upgrade rebate.

Add a Hybrid Heat Pump to a Natural Gas Furnace

$1,500 Rebate

Up to $2,400 with qualifying PSE Efficiency Boost

A hybrid heat pump combines an electric heat pump with a natural gas furnace. The heat pump can provide efficient heating during milder conditions and cooling during summer, while the furnace remains available for colder weather.

Eligible customers must meet PSE requirements related to natural gas service, existing equipment, system controls, equipment pairing, and installation.

Convert Eligible PSE Natural Gas Heat to All-Electric

$4,000 Rebate

Income qualification required

PSE currently offers an income-qualified rebate for certain single-family residential natural gas customers replacing qualifying gas heating with a ducted or ductless air-source heat pump.

The previous natural gas heating equipment must generally be removed or decommissioned. Income, equipment, contractor, and installation requirements also apply.

Understanding Eligibility

What Determines Whether Your Home Qualifies?

Your city alone does not determine PSE rebate eligibility. Some Puget Sound homes receive electricity and natural gas from PSE, while others receive only one service from PSE. The utility serving the equipment being upgraded matters.

PSE may evaluate factors such as:

  • Your PSE electric and/or natural gas service.
  • Your existing primary heating system and fuel source.
  • The type of property and utility account.
  • The proposed equipment and AHRI certification.
  • Efficiency and cold-weather performance requirements.
  • Equipment sizing, controls, and installation configuration.
  • Use of a qualifying PSE contractor where required.
  • Household income for Efficiency Boost or other income-qualified programs.
  • Required invoices, model numbers, photographs, and supporting documentation.
  • Purchase, installation, and rebate submission dates.

Choosing high-efficiency equipment does not automatically make a project eligible for every rebate. Confirm the program requirements before selecting the final system. Homeowners who may qualify for enhanced incentives can also review PSE Efficiency Boost.

A Better Way to Plan

How Home Comfort Alliance Helps With PSE Rebate Planning

Understanding which PSE rebate may apply starts with your home, utility service, and existing equipment. Home Comfort Alliance helps you evaluate the project before installation so you can make a more informed decision about equipment, eligibility, and next steps.

1

Confirm Your Utility

We identify whether Puget Sound Energy supplies electricity, natural gas, or both at your property, since utility service can affect which rebate pathways may be available.

2

Evaluate Your Existing System

We review your current heating equipment, fuel source, ductwork, electrical capacity, system condition, and comfort needs before recommending an upgrade.

3

Compare Qualifying Options

We compare heat pumps, hybrid systems and other qualifying equipment with current PSE program requirements and the actual needs of your home.

4

Plan the Complete Project

We help account for HVAC, electrical, installation, and documentation requirements before work begins, helping reduce surprises later in the project.

Plan Beyond the Equipment

Your Heat Pump Project May Include More Than HVAC Equipment

Heat pump and electrification projects can sometimes require electrical, ductwork or other supporting improvements. Reviewing these needs early can reduce surprises later in the project.

Home Comfort Alliance provides heating and cooling services ,Β residential electrical servicesΒ andΒ water heater services , allowing homeowners to evaluate multiple parts of an energy-efficiency project with one local team.

Financing and Other Incentives

Rebates may reduce eligible project costs, while financing may help manage the remaining investment. Review Home Comfort Alliance’s current financing options. Financing is subject to credit approval, lender requirements, and current program terms and is separate from PSE rebate approval.

Washington homeowners can also monitor the Washington State Department of Commerce home energy rebate resourcesΒ for state-administered energy-efficiency and electrification programs.

Federal tax credit update:Β Current IRS guidance states that the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit does not apply to property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Homeowners completing projects in 2026 should not assume a federal HVAC tax credit is available. Review theΒ current IRS Form 5695 instructionsΒ and consult a qualified tax professional for tax advice.
