There’s still time to register for the Kirkland Heat Pump Workshop! The City of Kirkland and Energy Smart Eastside are hosting the event on Monday, May 18, 2026 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at the Peter Kirk Community Center(352 Kirkland Ave.). You’ll learn about a greener (and often more cost-effective!) way of heating and cooling your home, plus qualify for a special discount from AirGanic, a local heat pump contractor.
More than half (51%) of Kirkland’s greenhouse gas emissions come from energy use in residential and commercial buildings, and the single biggest driver is the heating and cooling of these spaces. With heat pumps, residents can improve the energy efficiency of their homes and reduce their carbon footprint. Not only are heat pumps cleaner compared to traditional gas furnaces, they offer both heating and air conditioning as well as filter inside air.
Heat pumps can also reduce a household’s energy bills. To offset the costs of installation, Energy Smart Eastside has special rebates for residents of Kirkland and the program’s five other participating cities. These rebates can be combined with other utility incentives for thousands of dollars in savings on heat pumps.
