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.

State & federal statusWashington Programs & Federal Tax-Credit Changes

Program	2026 Status	What It May Cover	What Homeowners Should Know
Washington State State Home Electrification & Appliance Rebates (HEAR)	Available	Eligible improvements may include: • Ducted and ductless heat pumps • Ground-source heat pumps • Heat pump water heaters • Electric panel upgrades • Required electrical wiring • Other qualifying electric appliances	Generally available to qualifying households at or below 150% of Area Median Income (AMI), but availability and individual rebate amounts depend on the local program administrator. Not every administrator offers every eligible measure. Homeowners should confirm local availability before purchasing equipment.
Washington State Weatherization Assistance	Available	Qualifying households may receive energy-efficiency improvements such as: • Insulation • Air sealing • Energy-efficiency improvements • Heating-system improvements where eligible • Other measures identified through the local weatherization agency	Washington Commerce states that household eligibility may be based on income up to 200% of the federal poverty level, 60% of State Median Income, or 80% of Area Median Income. This is generally an assistance program delivered through local agencies rather than a traditional cash-back consumer rebate.
Federal + Washington IRA HOMES & HARP Home Energy Rebates	Not Yet Launched	Planned eligible improvements include: • Heat pumps • Electrical panels and wiring • Insulation • Air sealing • Ventilation • Appliances • Whole-home energy-efficiency upgrades	Washington Commerce is still preparing statewide program operations. Do not complete work expecting this rebate. The program is not retroactive. Homeowners will need to apply and receive approval before completing eligible purchases or upgrades once the program launches.
Federal Tax Credit Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit	Ended for 2026	For qualifying projects completed under the previous program, eligible improvements included: • Heat pumps • Heat pump water heaters • Central air conditioners • Furnaces and boilers • Electrical panel improvements • Insulation and air sealing • Windows and doors • Home energy audits	This credit is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Qualifying heat pumps placed in service during 2025 were previously eligible for a credit equal to 30% of eligible costs, subject to the applicable credit limits. Homeowners with a qualifying 2025 installation should consult a tax professional regarding their 2025 tax return.
Federal Tax Credit Section 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit	Ended for 2026	The former Residential Clean Energy Credit included qualifying: • Geothermal heat pumps • Solar electric systems • Solar water heating • Battery storage • Small wind energy systems • Certain fuel-cell property	The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is no longer available for expenditures made after December 31, 2025. Homeowners who completed a qualifying project during the applicable prior period should consult IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional regarding potential filing eligibility.
Federal Tax Credit Section 30C EV Charger Credit	Ended June 30, 2026	For qualifying residential installations completed before the expiration date, the credit could equal: 30% of eligible costs up to $1,000 per charging port	The credit does not apply to EV charging equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026. For earlier qualifying installations, the home also had to be located within an eligible census tract and meet federal requirements.

Important: Rebate and Tax Credit Programs Can Change

Rebate availability, funding, income limits, equipment requirements, program administrators, tax laws, and eligibility rules may change without notice. Home Comfort Alliance can help identify programs that may apply to your project, but final rebate eligibility is determined by the applicable utility, city, state, or program administrator. Tax credits are governed by federal law and IRS requirements. Home Comfort Alliance does not provide tax advice. Homeowners should confirm tax eligibility with the IRS and/or a qualified tax professional.

  Anton from Home Comfort Alliance was very personable and efficient in doing our pms on A/C and furnace.  A couple very useful suggestions and easily provided quotes on comparable replacements for our 39 year old  furnace. But said we had done a good job of maintaining and doing needed repairs. Raised our confidence to get through yet another winter.  No absolutes but also that it’s easily replaced if it has an unlikely major failure. Thanks, Anton and HCA.

The electrical installation looks good too but I didn’t get to meet the electrical technicians because I left for work. I think that their names were Armando and Justin. Thank you, home comfort.

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough good things about Home Comfort Alliance and, in particular, Kelly Robblee and Michael Hanson. Home Comfort Alliance installed a new furnace in our home in late 2024/early 2025. This May, we discovered that our electric sauna no longer had power. Because we rarely use it, we hadn't noticed the problem sooner. I contacted Home Comfort Alliance thinking the sauna circuit may have been disconnected during the electrical work associated with the furnace installation. I honestly wasn't sure what kind of response I'd get given how much time had passed, but they took my concern seriously and sent Kelly and Michael to investigate. They quickly traced the problem and discovered that Home Comfort Alliance hadn't caused it at all. A completely different contractor who installed our electric car charger had taken the power from the sauna circuit. Here's the part that really impressed me: even after determining that it wasn't their responsibility, Kelly and Michael offered to fix the problem for us anyway. That is exceptional customer service. They were professional, knowledgeable and thorough, and there was never any attempt to brush off our concern or pass the problem along once they discovered someone else had caused it. It's easy to give a company five stars when everything goes perfectly. I think you learn much more about a company by seeing how they respond when a customer comes to them with a problem. Kelly, Michael and Home Comfort Alliance exceeded my expectations. This is exactly the kind of company you want to do business with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
