Upgrade your heating system to a heat pump to:
Energy-efficient heat pumps offer a win-win solution. The City of Kirkland has partnered with four other Eastside cities (Bellevue, Issaquah, Mercer Island and Redmond) and multiple community partners to help our residents learn about and access energy-efficient heat pump technology. We have pre-selected high quality contractors who are committed to serving our communities through this campaign.
The first step is to sign up at energysmarteastside.org to get on the list to attend a one-hour virtual workshop. At the workshop, you will learn more about heat pump technology and applicable incentives/financing and hear from an expert installer. After the workshop, you can have your home assessed to help you consider the installation of the heat pump system that works best for you.

A heat pump campaign can help reduce pollution in the community because heating our homes and businesses account for about 30% of our collective carbon emissions. This technology can also provide cooling on days it is needed, which is especially important in the summer months with excessive heat and/or smoke related events occurring more frequently.
This campaign supports the City’s Sustainability Master Plan Action ES-5.3 (Establish a public/private partnership or incentive program to convert existing gas appliances to energy efficient electric) and Action BI-3.5: (Establish a program to assist homeowners in selecting appropriate and cost-effective energy solutions)
