Community Heat Pump Deployment (CHPD)
Program

What is the CHPD Program?

The Community Heat Pump Deployment Program (CHPD) was established to provide Oregon homeowners in climate vulnerable communities with efficient and affordable heat pump systems. The goal of the program is to provide equitable access to more environmentally friendly heating and cooling solutions. 

How Does It Work?

The CHPD program is intended to install heat pumps in owner occupied single family homes through a network of installation partners. These partners can help you determine whether your home can benefit from a heat pump and add you to an appropriate wait list. Financial assistance and equipment advice is available. 

To support the program’s goal to provide equitable access to heating and cooling solutions, applicants who belong to environmental justice communities will be prioritized. These communities are defined in OAR 330-270-0040 and include: 

• A community of color: individuals who self identify as an ethnicity and/or racial heritage other than white alone
• Tribal communities: members of a Federally recognized Native tribe in Oregon
• Rural communities: individuals whose primary residence is in a community with less than 50,00 residents 
• Coastal Communities: individuals whose primary residence is located within the area between Oregon coast to the crest of the coast range
