If you’re in the market for a new HVAC system and have your eye on a heat pump, you may be deterred by the upfront expense. Well, Washington State wants to help you make the conversion from a gas furnace to an electric heat pump by offering rebates in conjunction with Puget Sound Energy.
If you’re an existing PSE customer and get a heat pump installed in your existing home (new construction is not eligible), you can receive up to $2,400 in rebates through Puget Sound Energy when you switch from a natural gas furnace to a qualifying ducted heat pump system OR switch from natural gas heating to a qualifying ductless heat pump system.
Heat pumps are just as reliable as gas furnaces and can use 2-3 times less energy. Because they’re considered more eco-friendly than gas furnaces, PSE is encouraging homeowners to make the switch via these incentives.
If you want to make the switch from a furnace to heat pump, give us a call. We can help you choose a heat pump that’ll qualify for the PSE rebates and take care of the necessary paperwork for you.
One of the stipulations is that your new heat pump must be professionally installed to comply with all federal, state, and local code requirements. When you work with a licensed HVAC contractor like us, you can rest assured that this stipulation is covered.
According to PSE’s website, here are the stipulations for the rebate.
- You must be a PSE gas and PSE electricity (dual fuel) customer who currently heats with natural gas.
- Customers with pre-existing heat pumps are not eligible.
- Existing gas furnaces must be removed and fully replaced by the new heat pump system to qualify. Dual fuel systems or systems with natural gas backup heat do not qualify for this incentive.
- Heat pumps must be installed to comply with all federal, state, and local code requirements.
- Rebate application must be submitted within 60 days of purchase.
- Rebates are only available on new, qualifying equipment.
- Equipment that is replaced under warranty will not be eligible for a second rebate.
- One rebate per qualified single-family residence.
- Cannot be combined with any other rebates except where noted.
- Rebate cannot exceed the pre-tax purchase price or any rebated product.
- Customers with pre-existing heat pumps are not eligible.
- Existing gas furnaces must be removed and fully replaced by the new heat pump system to qualify
Additional application requirements include:
- Your rebate application must be submitted within 60 days of installation.
- Only one rebate will be issued per qualified single-family residence.
- Rebates are only available on new, qualifying equipment. Rebates cannot exceed the pre-tax purchase price of any rebated equipment. Equipment that is replaced under warranty will not be eligible for a second rebate.
- Equipment must be installed on or after June 19, 2023.
