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. For the greatest efficiency, and to “future-proof” your equipment, consider installing an inverter-driven “variable speed” heat pump. PUD 3 offers incentives for those that are the most energy efficient. Please see residential heat pump program requirements below.

COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS looking for heat pump incentives, please call the PUD 3 Conservation Department for more details at (360) 426-0777.
