Yes. Oregon offers heat pump rebates through Energy Trust of Oregon. The rebate amount is $250–$3,000.

Check the Oregon HVAC rebates page for current efficiency minimums and exact application steps.

Question 4

Can I combine Oregon utility rebates with the federal heat pump tax credit?

The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) covers 30% of heat pump costs up to $2,000 per year for qualifying systems. Stack both incentives by: 1) Applying for the Oregon utility rebate after installation, and 2) Claiming the 25C credit on your federal tax return for the same tax year. Consult a tax professional to confirm eligibility.

Who qualifies for Oregon heat pump rebates?

Accepted Answer

To qualify for Oregon heat pump rebates through Energy Trust of Oregon, you typically need: an active Portland General Electric (PGE), Pacific Power (Oregon), Energy Trust of Oregon electric account, a qualifying ENERGY STAR certified heat pump installed by a licensed contractor, and a submitted application within the program's deadline. Some programs require replacing a fossil-fuel heating system. Income-qualified households may receive higher rebate amounts through separate programs.
