Home Comfort Alliance has announced that households in Seattle, Tacoma, Redmond and Everett have until 31 December 2025 to take advantage of federal tax incentives and Puget Sound Energy (PSE) rebates available for eligible furnace replacements, HVAC system upgrades and heat pump installations before several major incentive programmes come to an end.
The update follows continued increases in energy costs across Western Washington, with further utility rate adjustments anticipated throughout 2026. Rising heating expenses have led many homeowners to prioritise more energy-efficient HVAC systems as a way to manage long-term costs while improving indoor comfort in all seasons.
Qualifying homeowners may be eligible for a combination of federal and utility-based financial incentives to help offset the cost of installing high-efficiency systems. Under the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (Section 25C), individuals are entitled to claim a tax credit covering 30% of installation expenses—up to $2,000 per year for heat pumps and up to $600 per year for high-efficiency furnaces, with an annual maximum of $3,200 for qualifying improvements. In addition, PSE rebates may provide up to $2,400 for approved heat pump installations and up to $750 for furnace upgrades, depending on availability and programme criteria.
“These programs are designed to help families lower long-term heating costs while improving home comfort,” said Chris Baisch, Vice President of Sales at Home Comfort Alliance. “Homeowners who act before the deadline are in the best position to benefit from these incentives before they expire.”
According to the company’s furnace cost guide, installation pricing for Seattle, Tacoma, Redmond and Everett generally ranges from $4,500 to $10,000 depending on system specification, property size and ducting requirements. High-efficiency equipment can reduce household energy use by more than 30 per cent a year while also supporting improvements to indoor air quality.
Home Comfort Alliance encourages homeowners to confirm eligibility criteria, check current programme availability and plan installations in advance to ensure all work is completed before the 31 December 2025 deadline.
