Program Overview

About 42% of Shoreline's greenhouse gas emissions come from using fossil fuels to heat our homes and buildings. Reaching our goal of reducing these emissions by 60% by 2030 will be a significant challenge. Fortunately, the tools and technology to make this happen are within reach - like heat pumps!

Energize Shoreline is a program that provides free educational workshops about heat pump technology and exclusive savings on heat pumps for Shoreline residents.

Exclusive Discounts

Energize Shoreline offers three tracks to save on a heat pump:

  1. Standard Track: A $2,500 discount* for eligible homeowners who purchase and install a qualifying heat pump through a participating installer.
  2. Moderate-Income Track: A $6,000 discount* for eligible homeowners who purchase and install a qualifying heat pump through a participating installer. Household income must be between 81% and 150% of the King County Area Median Income (AMI).
