Shopping for a new heat pump?

High-efficiency heat pumps are a great option for upgrading your heating system. PSE provides rebates on two types of heat pump systems. Ducted heat pump systems may be able to use the home’s existing ducting. Ductless heat pump systems, sometimes called mini-splits, are a great option for homes without ducting or with incompatible ducting.
