PSE Heat Pump & HVAC Rebates for Puget Sound Homeowners
Planning a heat pump, HVAC replacement, water heater, thermostat, or home-efficiency upgrade? Home Comfort Alliance helps Seattle-Tacoma area homeowners understand which PSE rebate path may fit their home before the project starts.
Rebate information reviewed July 6, 2026. Program rules are subject to change.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.
