WHY MAKE THE SWITCH

MORE COMFORT. LESS OIL.

A heat pump heats in winter and cools in summer. For many oil-heated homes, it is a practical step toward steadier comfort and less exposure to oil deliveries.

ONE SYSTEM, TWO SEASONS

Heating and cooling in a single electric system, sized for your house.

LESS TO MANAGE

No more tracking tank levels or arranging oil deliveries.

A REAL PATH TO SAVINGS

The City reports ↗ households switching from oil typically save more than 50% on heating bills, or approximately $1,100 a year. This is not a guarantee; your results depend on your home, usage and rates.

01 / FIND YOUR PATH

Check the rebate. Then make a plan.

Two quick answers for a starting point, not an eligibility decision. No email needed.

Is your home in Seattle city limits?

Choose your location to begin.

We will show the likely next step. Final eligibility is confirmed by the program.

Get matched with an approved installer

The City’s rebate form requires an existing Seattle home (1–4 units or townhouse) with a working oil furnace as its primary heat source, qualifying Mitsubishi Electric equipment and a participating contractor. The City of Seattle sets final eligibility. We are not affiliated with the City. Check current City rules ↗

DON'T FORGET THE TANK

THE OLD TANK NEEDS A PLAN.

A heat pump replaces the heating job. It does not automatically close out a buried or basement oil tank. Know what is included, who handles the tank, and which records you will keep.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

GOOD QUESTIONS TO ASK.

Read all FAQs ↗

Is Ditch Oil Heat an installer?

No. We are an independent referral service. We match homeowners with licensed, rebate-approved installers and may receive a referral fee if you connect.

Can I get a Seattle rebate if I live outside Seattle?

No. The Seattle city rebate applies to qualifying homes within city limits. Your utility may have a separate program; verify eligibility by address.

Do I have to remove my oil tank?

A heat-pump installation and oil-tank decommissioning are separate scopes. Ask a qualified tank professional about the required plan for your tank.

Will a heat pump work when it is cold?

Modern heat pumps can heat in cold weather. Proper sizing, layout, and system choice matter for comfort in your particular home.
