Save Energy. Save Money. Stay Comfortable.

Have you been looking for air conditioning, energy savings, or a way to support Thurston’s climate action goals? Heat pumps provide highly efficient, all electric space heating and water heating, plus access to cooling to make your home more comfortable.

A limited number of subsidized installations will be available to income-qualified households.

  • Fully or partially subsidized equipment and installations for income-qualified households. * 
  • Installations and free site assessments by vetted installers.  
  • Streamlined installation and customer support. 
  • Guidance and instant access to relevant incentives.
  • Information on energy efficiency financing.  

*Participants with a household income below 120% of Thurston County area median income (AMI) may qualify for funds to cover 80-100% of installation costs.
