*If your income is below the minimum income range, check out PSE’s no-cost Home Weatherization Assistance program, administered through your local community agency.

You may also qualify for additional assistance programs.

How it works

Weatherization program

  1. Review the income guidelines, and contact an Energy Advisor (EA) to discuss eligibility. The EA will guide you through next steps and can provide referrals to Recommended Energy Professionals (REPs), who are approved to deliver Efficiency Boost rebates.
  2. Once you’ve selected a Recommended Energy Professional, they will ask you to sign an income qualification form to confirm that you meet eligibility requirements prior to installation.
  3. After installation, the REP will submit your signed incentive application and income qualification form to PSE and provide you with an instant rebate. Incentives will be paid directly to the REP, who will deduct the incentive amount from your invoice, reducing your out-of-pocket cost. You are responsible for paying the balance of the invoice.

Note: You must use a REP or Trade Ally to receive weatherization rebates.
