Save hundreds of dollars when you weatherize your home

Weatherization is the foundation of a home’s energy efficiency. Weatherization prevents the loss of warm or cool air through unseen leaks and seams. It’s an easy, cost-effective way to increase the comfort of your home while saving money and energy.

What you get

The total value of your weatherization rebate depends on how much insulation and sealing your home needs. In order to receive this rebate, you must use a contractor who is a PSE Recommended Energy Professional (REP) or another PSE Trade Ally. Your contractor will deduct the instant rebate amount from your invoice, reducing your out-of-pocket cost.

The total rebate, including any applicable bundle bonus, cannot exceed the pre-tax price of any rebate product.

Weatherization type	Rebate value
Attic insulation	$0.50 to $1.75 per sq ft *
Wall insulation	$2.50 per sq ft
Floor insulation	$2.50 per sq ft
ENERGY STAR^® whole house ventilation (PSE electric-heated home only)	$50 per unit
Prescriptive air sealing (attic and/or floor)	$0.20 per sq ft
Duct sealing and insulation	Up to $1,000 per home
Duct sealing only	Up to $550 per home

Take a whole-home approach and bundle 3 or more weatherization measures, and receive an additional bonus rebate:

Bundle 3+ measures in one project	Up to $350
Bundle 4+ measures in one project	Up to $500

* The attic insulation rebate amount depends on the type of home and amount of pre-existing insulation.

How you qualify

You must use a contractor who is a PSE Recommended Energy Professional (REP) or PSE Trade Ally to complete the installation. You may not use an out-of-network contractor or complete the work yourself.
Applicable rebates are determined and provided to the customer by the PSE-authorized contractor as an instant rebate at the point of sale. PSE does not pay weatherization rebates directly to the customer.
You must be a current PSE residential electric or PSE natural gas customer and use PSE electricity or PSE natural gas as the primary source of your home's space heating.

You must live in a single-family home (four units or less) or manufactured/mobile home. Single-family new construction, multifamily (five or more attached units) and commercial accounts are not eligible. For rebates for multifamily buildings, apartments or condos, click here.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY: PSE does not guarantee any particular energy savings results by installation of the weatherization measures proposed by the independent contractor ("Authorized Contractor") authorized by PSE. PSE is providing customers ("program participant(s)") who desire certain weatherization measures with a discount off the price, when an Authorized Contractor installs such measures. Please note that PSE is not involved in evaluating the weatherization measures that may be suggested by the Authorized Contractor to a program participant.

The Authorized Contractor and its employees are not employees of PSE and PSE will not be supervising the work performed by the Authorized Contractor for program participant. As such, any issues related to the work undertaken for the program participant should be addressed directly to the Authorized Contractor because PSE shall not be responsible in any way for proper completion of the work or proper performance of any product acquired by a program participant under this weatherization program. By accepting the discount, program participants agree to these terms and assume the risk of any loss or damage(s) that they may suffer in connection with failure to achieve energy savings.

This is a tariffed service and subject to change or termination without prior notice.
