2026 PSE Rebates
Last updated: March 2026
Heat Pump Rebates
PSE offers multiple heat pump rebate programs. Which one applies depends primarily on what type of heating system you’re replacing and, in some cases, household income.​
​
How much is the rebate?
-
$1,500 for qualifying heat pump upgrades or replacements.
-
Up to $2,400 for income-qualified households through PSE’s Efficiency Boost program.
-
Up to $4,000 for income-qualified customers switching from natural gas to a heat pump.
Exact rebate amounts depend on your existing system and eligibility.
Do I qualify?
At a high level, you may qualify if:
-
You are a PSE residential customer.
-
You are replacing electric resistance heat, an older heat pump, or a qualifying natural gas system.
-
The new heat pump meets PSE efficiency requirements and is installed by a PSE Trade Ally (such as Hansen Home Services).
Some programs are limited to electric customers, while others apply to natural gas customers or income-qualified households.
How do I apply?
Heat pump rebates are processed through the contractor completing your installation. Applications must be submitted within required timeframes and installations must meet all program and code requirements.
Hansen can help you determine which PSE heat pump rebate applies to your home as part of a complimentary quote, and ensure your installation meets all eligibility requirements.

​
How much is the rebate?
-
$1,000 for qualifying Tier 3 or Tier 4 heat pump water heaters.
-
Up to $1,100 for income-qualified households through PSE’s Efficiency Boost program.

You install a qualifying Tier 3 or Tier 4 heat pump water heater.
-
The installation meets electrical, plumbing, and code requirements.
Some households may qualify for higher rebate amounts through income-based programs.
How do I apply?
Rebates can be applied in one of three ways: instant in-store discounts at participating retailers, post-purchase applications, or installer-applied rebates when included as part of a professional installation.
Hansen helps homeowners determine whether a heat pump water heater is a good fit and ensures installations meet rebate and code requirements.

$75 rebate for qualifying smart thermostats.

You install a qualifying ENERGY STAR smart thermostat.
Flex Smart eligibility depends on thermostat compatibility and whether your home uses PSE electricity for heating or cooling.

the right incentives for you
Do I Qualify for PSE Rebates?
Eligibility depends on several factors, including:
-
Your PSE service type (electric, gas, or both).
-
The equipment currently installed in your home.
-
The new system being installed.
