Energy Smart Eastside Campaign Brings Savings to Eastside Residents

Community discount for installation, utility rebates, and low-interest financing available

This summer, eastside residents in Kirkland, Bellevue, Issaquah, Mercer Island, and Redmond have an opportunity to learn about and purchase discounted heat pump systems through Energy Smart Eastside, a multi-city energy efficiency program.  Heat pumps are highly efficient heating and cooling systems that use less energy than traditional electric heating systems and can result in lower utility bills.

“The Energy Smart Eastside campaign is a great opportunity for Kirkland residents to provide heating and cooling for their homes while also being energy efficient,” said Kirkland City Councilmember Kelli Curtis. “This technology is just one step community members can take towards going all-electric and at the same time, help lessen the impacts of climate change.”

The Energy Smart Eastside campaign reduces the regular price of a heat pump, simplifies the installation process for customers, and provides guidance on utility incentives and low-interest financing.  By working directly with the manufacturer, local distributor, and expert installers to streamline the process, participants can be assured of high-quality work and excellent customer service.

Five free, one-hour online workshops from July 26 to September 27, 2022, are open to all eastside residents and property owners. Participants can learn about heat pump technology, utility incentives and financing opportunities, and will have an opportunity to ask questions of program experts. After attending a workshop, participants are eligible to receive a community discount to reduce the installation cost by at least $500.00.  In addition to the program discount on installation, Puget Sound Energy customers may also qualify for additional cash incentives, if upgrading from another electric heat source.
