Snohomish County PUD can help homeowners save money on energy costs with special offers on heat pumps, duct sealing and insulation, efficient windows and lighting. They include:

Better Heat Pump Incentives: Install a ductless heat pump this year, and you’ll get an incentive of up to $1,200 (was $800 in 2012). These units not only reduce your PUD bill, but they improve comfort in your home. Customers can also receive $2,000 to $2,500 for converting from electric resistance heating to a ducted heat pump system. In the case of the most efficient systems, that’s more than double the previous incentive.

Weatherization: For duct sealing and insulation work, the utility now offers $5 per linear foot, up to $800, which is up to double the amount of the old incentive. Upgrades from single-pane to double-pane windows now carry an incentive of $8 per square foot and $6 per square foot for upgrading metal frame double pane windows (previously $3 per square foot).

More Efficient Lighting: Discounts are available on compact fluorescent light bulbs and LED bulbs at a network of local retailers. More and more consumers are turning to LEDs, which are highly efficient and last up to 20 years. For local retailers, see www.snopud.com/efficientlighting.

Fridge Recycling: Responsibly recycle old, energy-wasting fridges and freezers and start saving up to $200 annually. The PUD will even come to your home and haul it away for free. To schedule a pick-up, call 1-877-577-0510.
