Rebates
Cowlitz County homeowners have access to real money through Cowlitz PUD rebates and the Washington State HEAR program. I handle the paperwork as part of the job.
Up to $1,500 on ducted systems, $900 on ductless mini-splits. Available to all Cowlitz County customers.
Up to $8,000 for income-qualifying households. Stacks with Cowlitz PUD rebates.
Bosch systems I install are AHRI certified, the key requirement for qualifying for most programs.
Cowlitz PUD Rebates
Cowlitz PUD is the electric utility serving all of Cowlitz County, including Kelso, Longview, Kalama, Castle Rock, and Woodland. They offer rebates on qualifying energy-efficient equipment installed by licensed contractors.
Rebates are paid after installation. I handle the rebate paperwork for my customers as part of the job.
How it works:
- 1 Call me — I'll confirm the equipment you need qualifies for a rebate
- 2 I install your AHRI-certified Bosch system
- 3 I provide the equipment documentation Cowlitz PUD requires
- 4 I submit the rebate application on your behalf
- 5 Cowlitz PUD issues you a check
Washington State HEAR Program
The Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program is administered by the Washington State Department of Commerce and targets low- to moderate-income households with substantially larger rebates than utility programs alone.
These rebates can be stacked on top of Cowlitz PUD rebates. To connect with the HEAR program administrator for Cowlitz County, email [email protected].
For households at or below 125% of the federal poverty level, the Washington State Weatherization Program may cover heat pump installation at no cost. Contact your local Community Action Agency for eligibility.
Why Bosch Equipment Qualifies
Not all heat pumps qualify for rebates. Bosch systems do, because they are AHRI certified and built to the efficiency standards these programs require.
AHRI Certified
AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) certification verifies that equipment meets rated efficiency levels. Most rebate programs require this.
High SEER Ratings
Bosch systems meet and exceed the minimum SEER ratings required by Washington State and federal efficiency programs.
Inverter-Driven Technology
Inverter compressors modulate their output to match demand, delivering efficiency that standard single-stage units cannot match.
10-Year Warranty
Bosch backs their equipment with a 10-year factory warranty. Combined with my 10-year labor warranty, that is complete protection for a decade.
How the Savings Stack Up
Two real scenarios for Cowlitz County homeowners
Most homeowners also save 30-50% on heating costs after switching from electric resistance heat. The system continues paying for itself long after the rebates are spent.
