How much is the Snohomish PUD heat pump rebate?

$1,800 for a ducted heat pump conversion (minimum 7.5 HSPF2 / 13.8 SEER2) and $2,500 for a ducted inverter-driven heat pump (8.5 HSPF2 / 13.8 SEER2), in homes where electric heat is the primary heating source. The PUD registered contractor takes the rebate off your invoice. Read on the PUD’s heating page on October 4, 2026.

Does SnoPUD offer a ductless mini-split rebate?

Not on its current heating page. As of October 4, 2026 the page lists only the two ducted rebates. Older news coverage of a $1,200 ductless rebate describes a program that is not on the page today; ask the Energy Hotline (425-783-1700) before counting on it.

Do I apply for the SnoPUD heat pump rebate myself?

No. The rebate is instant: a PUD registered contractor includes it in your bill, then submits the application and supporting documents to the PUD and is paid after review, inspection and approval. Only retail product rebates (heat pump water heaters, thermostats, washers and dryers) are claimed by you, online, within 90 days of the invoice.

I heat with gas in Everett. Can I get the SnoPUD rebate?

No. The PUD requires electric heat as the primary heating source for its heat pump and weatherization rebates. Gas-heated homes in Snohomish County are PSE gas customers and should look at PSE’s program; the federal 25C credit ended December 31, 2025, and Washington’s federal rebates have not launched.

What is the SnoPUD heat pump water heater rebate?

The PUD’s heat pump water heater page says up to $1,000 for a qualifying replacement unit, claimed online within 90 days of the invoice, one per account every five years. Its heating page says up to $2,500 through a Registered Trade Ally. Both are official and were read on October 4, 2026; ask which applies to your purchase before you buy.

Is there a deadline or program year for SnoPUD rebates?

The PUD publishes none for heat pumps. The only dated rule is on retail product rebates: applications and receipts within 90 days of the invoice date. We re-read the PUD’s pages every day and will post a date here the day one appears.

Snohomish County PUD pays $1,800 for a ducted heat pump that replaces electric heat (minimum 7.5 HSPF2 / 13.8 SEER2) and $2,500 for a ducted, inverter-driven heat pump (8.5 HSPF2 / 13.8 SEER2).

Official page: Snohomish County PUD — Heating rebates · Application: No customer form for heat pumps: the PUD registered contractor submits the rebate application; heat pump water heater rebates are claimed in the PUD Rebate Center or MySnoPUD (“Claim Product Rebate”) · 425-783-1700 (Energy Hotline)

Who qualifies: electric heat as the primary source, and a home of up to four units

Snohomish PUD writes the eligibility rule in one line: “Electric heat must be a primary heating source.” The heating page opens with the same condition — rebates are for “customers with electrically heated homes” — so a house heated with gas or oil does not qualify for the heat pump rebate, whatever the new system’s efficiency. The second rule is the building: you must own a single-family or manufactured home, or a townhouse or condominium in a building with up to four attached dwellings; townhomes that do not overlap vertically are exempt from the four-unit cap. The third is the installer: all work must be completed by a PUD registered contractor, found through the PUD’s Trade Ally directory. The page does not mention income tiers, renters, or a cap on the number of rebates per home, and it gives no program year, so we treat the rebate as open until the PUD says otherwise and re-read the page daily.

How the instant rebate works: the contractor takes $1,800 or $2,500 off your bill

Unlike Chelan PUD, where you file within twelve months, SnoPUD pays at the point of sale. The registered contractor includes the rebate — and any reduced pricing from local wholesalers and distributors — in your initial bill, so you collect the savings the day you pay. The contractor then submits the rebate application and supporting documentation to the PUD and is paid the rebate amount after review, inspection and approval. For you, that means two things to check before signing: that the contractor is actually on the PUD’s registered list for heating, and that the rebate appears as a line item on the quote, with the equipment’s HSPF2 and SEER2 ratings written next to it. If a contractor who is not registered offers to “handle the rebate later,” there is no rebate: the PUD pays only registered contractors, and only for installations that pass its inspection.

The two efficiency bars: 7.5 HSPF2 for $1,800, 8.5 HSPF2 for $2,500

The PUD separates its two ducted rebates by efficiency, not by home type. A ducted conversion rated at least 7.5 HSPF2 and 13.8 SEER2 pays $1,800; a ducted inverter-driven system — a variable-speed compressor that modulates output instead of cycling on and off — must reach 8.5 HSPF2 and 13.8 SEER2 and pays $2,500. Both numbers are the newer HSPF2/SEER2 ratings introduced in 2023, so a quote that lists only the older HSPF and SEER figures should be checked against the AHRI directory, where the indoor and outdoor units must appear as a matched pair. For a typical Puget Sound retrofit replacing an electric furnace or electric zonal heat, the $700 difference between the two tiers will often be smaller than the price gap between a single-stage and an inverter-driven system, so compare the net cost after rebate, not the rebate alone.

Heat pump water heaters: two PUD pages, two amounts, read on the same day

SnoPUD’s heating page says “Work with a Registered Trade Ally & save up to $2,500 on a water heater.” Its dedicated heat pump water heater page, modified June 24, 2026, says the PUD offers “rebates of up to $1,000” for a qualifying unit that replaces an existing water heater, with the rebate claimed by the customer online within 90 days of the invoice date, paid in two to six weeks, and limited to one per residential account every five years. Both pages are official and both were read on October 4, 2026; neither explains the gap. The most likely reading is two channels — a larger instant rebate through a Registered Trade Ally and a smaller retail rebate you claim yourself — but the PUD does not say so, and we will not say it for them. Before buying, ask the contractor or the Energy Hotline which amount applies to your purchase, in writing, and keep the model number against the PUD’s qualified-products list.

Insulation and windows: the same electric-heat rule, the same registered contractors

The PUD’s weatherization page covers three measures for electrically heated homes, all installed by a PUD registered contractor who takes the rebate off the bill: insulation (attic from R-19 or less to R-49, floor from R-11 or less to R-30, wall from R-0 to R-11), duct sealing, and windows — $100 per window when replacing single-pane glass and $50 per window when replacing double-pane frame windows, with new units double or triple pane rated U-0.30 or lower. The page lists the insulation thresholds but we did not take a dollar figure from it, so ask the contractor for the current per-square-foot amount in writing. Smart thermostats, heat pump water heaters bought at retail, and washers and dryers go through the PUD’s online Rebate Center instead, with receipts submitted within 90 days. Snohomish County PUD also pays up to $4,400 on a qualified new manufactured home.

How to apply, step by step

Confirm your home heats primarily with electricity (electric furnace, baseboards, wall heaters) and has up to four attached units.
Pick a contractor from the PUD’s Trade Ally directory under “Heating” — only PUD registered contractors can give the rebate.
Ask for the rebate as a line item on the quote, with HSPF2 and SEER2 ratings and the AHRI match number.
Pay the discounted invoice; the contractor files the application and is paid by the PUD after inspection and approval.
For a heat pump water heater bought at retail, claim within 90 days of the invoice in the Rebate Center or MySnoPUD (“Claim Product Rebate”).
