Rebates & Incentives
What rebates can Washington homeowners get right now?
Two kinds, and they can often stack: Washington’s state HEAR point-of-sale discounts (income-eligible households) and your electric utility’s rebates — Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, Snohomish County PUD, or Tacoma Power — on high-efficiency heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and the electrical work they need. Explore current programs by trade below; Eco installs to program specs and handles the paperwork so you actually get what you qualify for.

Estimated program maximums — your actual savings depend on income, equipment, and utility.
Incentive amounts shown are program maximums and are not guaranteed. Eligibility depends on household income, equipment efficiency, your utility, and program funding, and some programs cannot be combined for the same measure (Washington’s HEAR program has a combined cap of $14,000 per household). State point-of-sale rebates (HEAR) and IRA Home Energy Rebates are administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce for income-eligible households; utility rebates are offered by your electric utility — Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Light, Snohomish County PUD, or Tacoma Public Utilities, depending on where you live. The federal 25C energy-efficiency tax credit expired December 31, 2025. Eco does not provide tax advice — confirm current eligibility with the program administrator or a tax professional. We’ll help you identify and apply the rebates you qualify for at your estimate.

Washington rebate FAQs
What rebates are available for Washington homeowners in 2026?
Two layers: Washington's state-run HEAR program (Home Electrification & Appliance Rebates, for income-eligible households) gives point-of-sale discounts on heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, and the electrical panel or wiring work they need — and your electric utility (Seattle City Light, Puget Sound Energy, Snohomish County PUD, or Tacoma Power) offers its own rebates on qualifying high-efficiency equipment, most without income limits. The interactive list above shows current program maximums by trade.
Which utility serves my home — and why does it matter?
Your rebates depend on who supplies your power. Seattle homes are served by Seattle City Light, Everett and most of Snohomish County by Snohomish County PUD, Tacoma and the South Sound by Tacoma Public Utilities, and the Eastside, Renton, and much of the region by Puget Sound Energy. Check the utility name on your electric bill — we'll match you to the right programs at your estimate.
Can I stack state and utility rebates?
Often yes — a state HEAR point-of-sale discount and a utility rebate can apply to the same project, though some programs can't be combined for the same measure and HEAR has a combined per-household cap. We check what stacks for your address and equipment before you approve the work.
Is the federal 25C tax credit still available?
No. The federal 25C energy-efficiency tax credit expired December 31, 2025. In 2026, savings come from Washington's state point-of-sale rebates and your utility's programs. (EV charger installs may still qualify for the separate federal 30C credit — ask us, and confirm with a tax professional.)
Who files the rebate paperwork?
We do. Point-of-sale programs like HEAR and many utility rebates are applied as instant discounts on your invoice by a participating contractor — that's us. For claim-style rebates we prepare the documentation so you can submit with confidence. You'll see the rebate reflected before you approve the job.
