Oil-to-Electric (Clean Heat) Program

If you currently heat your home using an oil furnace, then you're aware of the increasing costs associated with this heating system. Through the Oil-to-Electric program, our goal is to help lower your home's energy usage and reduce your utility costs by converting your oil furnace to an electric heating system. The Office of Housing receives funds from federal, state, and local sources to provide these improvements for FREE.

If youre eligible for our program, improvements could include:

• Oil-to-electric heated furnace conversion.
• Oil tank decommission.
• General health and safety inspections.

Additionally, you may automatically qualify for improvements through our Weatherization Program after participating in the Oil-to-Electric program.

You are eligible if you:

• Live in Seattle city limits or are a Seattle City Light customer.
• Eligibility will depend on income. The program has different income eligibility thresholds depending on the heat source (electricity, gas, or oil) and whether the housing is renter- or owner-occupied.
