Among the changes, the state increased its clothes washer rebate to $150 and added a $750 rebate for ductless heat pumps. When combined with Seattle City Light rebates, the cash back on a qualified Energy Star clothes washer is $250 and on a ductless heat pump it’s $1,950!
If you already bought a clothes washer and submitted an eligible application or received a rebate check for $100, the state will automatically send you a check for the additional $50.
