The old system must fit this offer.

The existing equipment must be a centrally ducted, all-electric air-source heat pump outside its original manufacturer warranty. Eligible single-family customers must use PSE electricity for primary heating. This particular rebate excludes ductless replacements, electric-resistance conversions, fossil-fuel furnaces, dual-fuel systems, and new construction. Different projects need a different program check.

Use a participating contractor.

Installation must use a PSE Recommended Energy Professional or Trade Ally. Do-it-yourself installations and non-network contractors are excluded. The replacement must meet PSE’s AHRI, efficiency, cold-weather performance, and controls requirements; auxiliary heat must be electric. Have the contractor document eligibility for the complete matched system.

Check Efficiency Boost before budgeting.

PSE’s eligibility tool asks for gross monthly household income, household size, and county. Its result is an estimate; applying or enrolling confirms qualification. Use the tool with current household information and ask the contractor how the approved tier will be recorded on your rebate paperwork.

Bring the old system’s details to the quote.

Find the existing model and serial numbers, approximate installation date, and warranty paperwork. Ask the contractor to explain the reason for replacement and whether repairs remain practical. Request the new system’s proposed capacity and the assumptions used to size it.

Have the proposal show the installed price, expected rebate, and any separate duct or electrical work. Ask when the discount is paid and who submits the claim. Keep the answer in writing so you can compare the timing of your payment with the timing of the incentive.

Do not substitute a statewide headline.

A Washington address alone does not determine which utility offer fits your home. Start with the name on the electric bill and the equipment you are replacing. Sources were checked September 6, 2026; confirm current availability with PSE before committing. Temperaly does not issue program approvals.
