About the Programs
The Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) is preparing to launch two new home energy rebate programs. The
Home Efficiency Rebates Program (also known as Homes) and the
Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate Program (also known as HEAR) will provide rebates for high-efficiency home improvements and appliance installation in eligible single and multifamily homes. These rebates give Oregonians – including those with limited resources – an opportunity to significantly lower the up-front cost of energy-efficient home upgrades.
Earth Advantage will deliver these programs in the state’s 38 consumer-owned utility (COU) and Idaho Power Company service areas, while
Energy Trust of Oregon will implement the programs in investor-owned utility service areas.
No rebates are currently available. Rebate applications for owner- and tenant-occupied single-family properties will open once ODOE receives U.S. DOE approval to launch – a requirement of the federal grant. Contractors are encouraged to enroll now to ensure readiness to begin work once applications open.
