Heat Pump Upgrade or Conversion – Save Energy & Money

Heat Pump Upgrade or Conversion – Save Energy & Money logo
The Pacific Northwest climate provides ideal conditions for high-efficiency heat pumps. A properly sized and installed heat pump with sealed ducts can reduce energy waste by as much as 50%! When installing or upgrading your heating and cooling system an Grays Harbor PUD approved contractor can help you choose the right equipment, install and maintain it properly, and ensure it delivers heated or cooled air to your living spaces instead of leaking out of your ductwork. GHPUD is here to help with more information and incentives.
  • The Performance Tested Comfort Systems (PTCS) program ensures a professionally trained technician will install your system properly and for optimal performance.
  • May require minimum insulation levels and properly sealed ducts to qualify for rebates (we offer insulation and duct sealing rebates as well)
  • Save energy and money every month.
