PSE Expands Rebates for Energy-Efficient Products and Services

Let’s face it: spending piles of money on home insulation or heat pumps probably isn’t something anyone particularly enjoys. Fortunately, Puget Sound Energy’s rebate programs help defray the cost of some energy-efficient products and services, making it easier to invest in home improvements that are beneficial to you and to the environment.

“PSE encourages customers to make energy-efficient choices when they are ready to upgrade or replace equipment,” says Cal Shirley, Vice President of Energy Efficiency Services for the utility. They offer a wide selection of rebates and incentives for equipment that reduces energy use and lowers customer bills; consumers can qualify for additional promotional offers by using PSE’s contractor referral service.

This fall, the utility is offering new and increased rebates on energy-efficient water and space heating equipment, as well as on windows. “The increased rebate amounts can help more customers save energy and money,” says Shirley.

The new and increased rebates include: 

• Conversion from electric forced-air furnace to high-efficiency heat pump: $1,500
• Insulation (floor, attic and wall): Up to $400 each, or up to $1,200 combined
• Ductless heat pump (1.0 ton minimum): $1,200
• Windows (0.30 u-factor or better) for electric customers: Up to $750
• ENERGY STAR®-qualified heat pump water heater: $500
• Heat pump sizing and lock out control: $300

Customers who combine PSE’s rebates with participating contractors’ promotional offers can receive as much as $2,000 when they install home heating equipment, and as much as $2,250 for windows.

Residential customers can also take advantage of PSE rebates on energy-efficient appliances such as refrigerators and clothes washers, and on energy-efficient equipment and upgrades including water heaters, furnaces, boilers and heat pumps. They can receive up to $3,950 when converting electric space and water heating equipment to natural gas.

The utility also offers customers in-home services such as a free HomePrint™ Assessment – an overview of a home’s energy use – or a $450 rebate on Home Performance with ENERGY STAR.
