What is the Energize! Heat Pump Program?

King County's new Energize! Heat Pump Program, installs heat pumps and other clean technology in homes in the North Highline and Skyway-West Hill unincorporated areas. Income qualified residents may qualify for 100% cost-coverage and other residents may be eligible for other discounts. Heat pumps provide efficient electrical heating and cooling that save energy and can save on energy bills too!

Interested? Sign-up to be notified about an upcoming workshop to learn more. After the workshop, attendees can have their home assessed to see if a heat pump is a good fit for their heating and cooling needs.

Heat pump benefits

Heat pumps are highly efficient heating and cooling systems that move hot air from one place to another. If you have a refrigerator, you already have heat pump technology in your home! Heat pumps have been around for over 50 years and are now the preferred heating and cooling system in Asia and much of Europe. Ductless systems can save 25-50% in heating costs over traditional electric heating systems and save even more compared to oil heating systems.

Learn more about the benefits of heat pumps, heat pump water heaters and electric induction cooking, plus available incentives and tax credits through our partnership with the Switch Is On.
