Port Angeles Public Works & Utilities - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Port Angeles offers rebates for energy-efficient upgrades to homes with electric heating, including heat pumps ($800 for ductless systems, $200–$1,000 for variable speed; up to $6,000 for qualifying low-income residents), windows ($6/sq ft of glass, or up to $20/sq ft for low-income), insulation (amount varies by R-value achieved), and heat pump water heaters ($700–$900). To apply, contact a City-Authorized Contractor for an assessment, then submit a rebate application; the City must grant advance written approval before work begins. Qualifying low-income residents may receive coverage up to 100% of costs through the Free Weatherization Program.

You must be a City-Authorized Contractor to participate; help customers assess efficiency opportunities, complete rebate applications, and obtain written approval from the City before performing work. Standard rebate amounts are $800 for ductless heat pumps, $6/sq ft for windows (low-income $20/sq ft), $700–$900 for heat pump water heaters, and variable amounts for insulation and variable-speed heat pumps. All equipment must meet City specifications (e.g., windows must be dual-pane vinyl with NFRC U-value ≤0.30), and homes must have electric heating and be served by Port Angeles utilities.

Administer rebates for residential energy efficiency measures—insulation, windows, heat pumps (ductless and variable-speed), and heat pump water heaters—targeting homes with existing electric heating served by Port Angeles utilities. Process advance applications, issue Notices to Proceed and Participation Statements specifying rebate amounts, and verify contractor authorization. Low-income residents qualify for enhanced rebates up to 100% cost coverage via the Free Weatherization Program; standard rebates vary by measure and achievement level. Track contractor compliance with equipment specifications and City approval requirements.
