Okanogan County PUD - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

Okanogan County PUD offers rebates for energy-efficient appliances and home improvements like heat pump water heaters ($1,400–$1,800), ductless heat pumps ($920), windows ($8 per square foot), insulation, smart thermostats ($140), and doors ($40), available on a first-come, first-served basis while funding lasts. You must call Energy Services for pre-approval before starting your project and have an active PUD account with electric as your primary heat source. Qualifying products must meet BPA standards, and you'll need to submit invoices, photos, and sometimes pass a post-inspection to receive your rebate.

This program allows you to work directly with residential customers seeking rebates for qualifying efficiency measures; ductless and ducted heat pumps require licensed contractor installation and must meet minimum efficiency ratings (HSPF2 7.5 for ductless, HSPF2 7.5 and SEER2 14.3 for ducted). Customers must obtain pre-approval from Energy Services before work begins, and all projects require invoices, product documentation (including AHRI Certificates for heat pumps), and post-inspections, so clear communication about program requirements and timelines helps prevent delays.

The program operates on first-come, first-served funding with incentives capped and subject to availability; customers must call for pre-approval and have an active account with electric as primary heat source, and measures range from $40 (doors) to $1,800 (large heat pump water heaters) with tiered incentives for insulation and windows based on specifications. All participants must submit program forms, invoices with purchase dates, and product certifications (BPA lists or AHRI certificates for heat pumps), with post-inspections required for most measures; the program targets residential customers in the Okanogan PUD service territory and includes options for heat pump retrofits, ductless systems, manufactured homes (NEEM certification), and building envelope improvements.
