How does it work?
Additional rebate amounts for PUD electric customers are available for households at or below 80% Jefferson County average median income. These rebates are available for Heat pumps, Heat Pump Hot Water Heaters, Windows, and Weatherization projects. To access these rebates, please fill out the income verification application.
