May 21 deadline to sign up for 10K heat pump subsidies

The Kicking Gas campaign in Washington has set a May 21 deadline for homeowners in Island and Snohomish Counties to apply for subsidies of up to $10,000 for home electrification appliances. Launched in 2022, the initiative recently received a $1. 5 million grant from the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates program, aimed at supporting energy-efficient upgrades. Seven information sessions, including four online, will assist applicants in understanding the application process and eligibility requirements. Homeowners can also take a survey at kickgasnow.

org to determine their eligibility for benefits. The program focuses on electric home retrofits, which are essential for reducing carbon emissions and promoting energy efficiency. This second round of funding allows the campaign to expand its outreach and impact within local communities. The financial assistance provided through these subsidies aims to make electrification more accessible to residents. By investing in sustainable home improvements, Washington seeks to advance its environmental and energy goals.
