Program Participation

Steps to participate

Your contractor will verify your eligible rebate amount based on your existing heating system. Lewis County PUD offers a courtesy list of area contractors, available in our Chehalis and Morton offices or by downloading the ducted heat pump packet below. A regional list of approved contractors can also be found by visiting the PTCS website. While not required, you are encouraged to get more than one bid to fully research the options available to you.

Homeowners and/or contractors can request a pre-approval appointment if needed. We also offer bid review appointments to customers who are considering multiple bids and would like assistance in comparing bids.

After all required paperwork has been submitted, a verification of the measures installed may be conducted to ensure the installation meets program specifications.

The Heat Pump Install Form (which includes the participation agreement) must be completed prior to receiving a rebate. If the homeowner and account holder are different parties, both parties must complete and submit the conservation participation agreement before an incentive can be processed. This form is available by using our online form or by completing the program packet both found below.
