Heat Pumps

Heat Pump PhotoYou can save hundreds of dollars per year on your electric heating bills when you upgrade to an energy-efficient heating and cooling system. Upgrading is simple and affordable with utility incentives and tax credits available for qualified units.  A new heat pump will not only save money, but allow your home to be more comfortable than ever.  Air conditioning comes standard with heat pump systems, so you’ll be just as cool in the summer as you are cozy in the winter.  And since these systems can improve air quality, you will enjoy clean, healthy air year-round.  

To qualify for a rebate, the heat pump must be installed in an existing home that is electrically heated and installed in accordance with Air Source Heat Pump Installation Specifications. You must also be an electric utility customer of the City of Port Angeles.  More information can be found in the Heat Pump Buyers Guide, which provides valuable information on how heat pumps work, and the economics of installing a heat pump.
