Clean Heat Rebate Administration

The City of Seattle is seeking proposals for Project Title . The City of Seattle (City) is committed to eliminating carbon pollution from buildings by accelerating the transition away from fossil‑fuel-based appliances and equipment. Building on more than a decade of work to reduce emissions from oil‑heated homes, the City is expanding its efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and transition homes to energy-efficient, electric appliances, including but not limited to heat pumps, heat pump water heaters and electric cooking. To support this transition, the City intends to provide instant rebates for the replacement of oil heating systems with high efficiency electric heat pumps which will reduce upfront conversion costs, streamline participation and accelerate the adoption of clean, electric heating and cooling. Subject to available budget, the City may expand the Clean Heat Program to also include incentives for gas heating systems to heat pumps (including window heat pumps), and heat pump water heaters to further reduce fossil fuel use. The City seeks to partner with qualified consultants capable of administering passthrough rebates to homeowners, creating and coordinating a participating contractor network, securely managing participant data, and supporting a program that is accessible, equitable, and effective through highly effective marketing. This approach reflects Seattle’s broader climate goals to reduce household emissions, lower energy burdens, increase resilience, and support households—particularly moderate-income households in overburdened communities—in adopting clean, safe, and efficient technologies.
