2026 Energize Contractor Roster

King County is seeking submittals for its Energize program from qualified contractors to provide and install electric appliances and upgrades, plumbing improvements, home energy audits, and weatherization and efficiency services in homes and buildings in King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap Counties.
