Go electric: Switch to a heat pump

What you get

PSE customers with active natural gas provided by PSE and electric service provided by PSE, heating their homes with a gas furnace or boiler can receive:

Heat pumps are a great option for homeowners looking to improve year-round comfort:

• Heat pumps are just as reliable as other heating systems and can use 2-3 times less energy.
• Heat pumps also offer cooling, humidity reduction, and increased air circulation and filtration.
• Depending on the model, you can control your heat pump with a remote, mobile app, or smart thermostat.

Inflation Reduction Act tax credits

Customers are encouraged to install heat pumps that meet the requirements for Inflation Reduction Act tax credits (up to $2,000). More information is listed in the table below.

Do I qualify?

Equipment requirements

• You must be a PSE gas and PSE electricity (dual fuel) customer who currently heats with natural gas.

Installed equipment meeting the PSE rebate requirements is eligible for the PSE rebate, if you are also interested in the additional IRA tax credits, please ensure your equipment also meets those requirements in the table below.

SEER2, EER2, HSPF2, 5°F, 17°F, and 47°F values shall be measured per the US Department of Energy test procedure at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 430, Subpart B, Appendix M1.

*Coefficient of Performance (COP) means the ratio of the average rate of space heating delivered to the average rate of electrical energy consumed by the heat pump. COP is a measurement of how efficiently a heat pump uses electricity to move heat.

**5°F, 17°F and 47°F are rated capacity data points as determined per the Appendix M1 tests. The capacity ratio measures the difference between the rated capacity at a given outdoor temperature and the rated capacity at another outdoor temperature. A higher capacity ratio means the heat pump will produce more heat at low temperatures. For any questions, please contact an Energy Advisor or call 1-800-562-1482.
