Enhanced Home Comfort with up to $8,000 in Heat Pump Incentives

If you're a Duvall* area resident with natural gas heating, you may be eligible for our heat pump program that offers up to $8,000 in incentives to help local families upgrade their home comfort systems by switching to an efficient electric heat pump system.

Heat pumps provide consistent, even temperatures throughout your home without the hot and cold spots common with other systems. They also filter and circulate air continuously, reducing dust and allergens. And unlike window AC units, they operate quietly both indoors and outdoors.

Whether you're interested in reducing your environmental impact, adding air conditioning to your home, or taking advantage of substantial incentives, now is the time to take advantage of this limited-time opportunity for Duvall area residents.

*Must be a Duvall area resident within specific neighborhoods of zip codes 98014 or 98019 - address verification by PSE is required. Your current primary heating system must be natural gas. This includes natural gas forced-air furnaces, wall heaters, and boilers.
