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 for residents 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). 
  3. Low-Income Track: Covers 100% of heat pump equipment and installation costs* for eligible homeowners enrolled in Seattle City Light’s Utility Discount Program (UDP), the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), or Shoreline Wastewater District’s utility assistance program.
