Rebates for Appliance Upgrades Offered by PSE

In what's supposed to be a La Nina winter marked by cooler and wetter conditions, the Seattle, Bellevue, and Puget Sound area has been more mild than normal. However, the weather maps are showing changes coming at the beginning of the year, and local weathermen are now forecasting the change to cooler and wetter conditions. If it gets cold like they say it should, then most of us will be feeling the sting when the heating and energy bills follow.

But there's good news for those of you who own real estate and have been thinking about upgrading to more energy efficient appliances and heating systems! Puget Sound Energy has a rather extensive rebate program for energy efficient home conversions including heating systems, insulation, lighting, and even full on conversions to gas.
Some of the notable rebates include:

• ENERGY STAR qualified heat pump water heater: $250
• ENERGY STAR qualified tankless water heater: $150 - $250
• Converting home and water heating to natural gas: $1,950 - $3,950
• Clothes Washer: $50 - $100

We may not all be swapping out our appliances or systems, but there are even smaller, $3 on CFL light bulbs that we can all take advantage. More info can be found on PSE's Rebate List.
