Heat Pump Incentives

Upgrading to an efficient heat pump is a good way to save on heating costs.

Are you considering converting to a high efficiency heat pump? PUD 3's heat pump incentive program may be able to help. 

Heat Pumps come in many different efficiency levels. PUD 3 offers incentives for those that are the most energy efficient. The Performance Tested Comfort System (PTCS) ducted heat pump program provides step-by-step support to local HVAC contractors to ensure that a new heat pump has been commissioned and configured to deliver conditioned air to its greatest potential. As part of the PTCS air source heat pump program, contractors must:

  • Perform specific calculations to ensure you install the right size heat pump for your home.
  • Adjust the air flow through the heat pump to make sure efficiency, comfort and reliability are achieved.
  • Ensure the correct amount of refrigerant has been charged into the system.

For the greatest efficiency, and to “future-proof” your equipment, consider installing an inverter-driven “variable speed” heat pump.
