HEAR Program
What Is the HEAR Program?
The Washington State Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) Program offers rebates to help households and small businesses buy energy-efficient electric equipment and appliances. Funded by the state’s Climate Commitment Act, this program aims to reduce climate pollution, create jobs, and improve public health.
As climate change affects our health, safety, and economy, Washington residents are taking action with cleaner options for homes, schools, and businesses. The Climate Commitment Act is also boosting new incentives to cut energy costs, move away from fossil fuels, and keep our air clean.
