What's available in Oregon
Oregon has one of the most developed heat pump incentive landscapes in the U.S. Energy Trust of Oregon administers rebates on behalf of the state's major investor-owned utilities (PGE, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas, Avista) with standard tiers of $800 (ductless) and $1,000 (ducted) for site-built homes, $1,800 to $3,000 for income-qualified households and rentals, a $3,500 to $4,000 manufactured home promotion through December 31, 2026, and a $4,000 ducted regional promotion for Pacific Power customers in Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla, and Wallowa counties. The Oregon Department of Energy runs the Heat Pump Purchase Program (HP3, $2,000), but as of August 2026 its owner-occupied existing-home funding is fully reserved and only rental and new-construction allocations remain; the Community Heat Pump Deployment Program (up to $7,000) is accepting applications only in the North Coast and North Central regions and through the Burns Paiute Tribe. Consumer-owned utilities run their own programs: EWEB in Eugene pays $1,000 ducted or $800 ductless (up to $6,000 or $4,500 for income-qualified owner-occupants) plus zero-percent loans, and OTEC, Springfield Utility Board, EPUD, and Midstate Electric offer their own rebates or loans. Oregon's HEAR/HOMES programs (about $113M from U.S. DOE) have still not launched as of September 2026; ODOE has incorporated revised federal requirements issued June 1, 2026 and is awaiting U.S. DOE approval, so no HEAR rebates are available yet. State and utility rebates are the primary 2026 incentive layer.
HEEHRA in Oregon
HEEHRA rebate: Point-of-sale rebate up to $8,000 for households at or below 80% of area median income. Funded by the IRA, administered by each state. Oregon is finalizing program rules.
How heat pump rebates work in Oregon
Oregon has one of the most developed heat pump incentive landscapes in the U.S. Energy Trust of Oregon administers rebates on behalf of the state's major investor-owned utilities (PGE, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas, Avista) with standard tiers of $800-$1,000 for site-built homes, a $3,500-$4,000 manufactured home promotion (through 2026), and stacked income-qualified offers up to $3,000. The Oregon Department of Energy runs the Heat Pump Purchase Program (HP3, up to $2,000, expanded November 2025) and the older Community Heat Pump Deployment Program (up to $7,000, mostly fully subscribed). Important 2026 caveat: HP3 Round 1 + Round 2 funding for owner-occupied existing-home retrofits is fully reserved — owner-occupied retrofits cannot currently claim the HP3 rebate. Rental property and new-construction allocations may still be available; check ODOE's live HP3 funding chart for category-specific status. Consumer-owned utilities and co-ops including OTEC, Springfield Utility Board, EWEB, EPUD, and Midstate Electric also offer their own rebates or low-interest loans. Oregon's HEAR and HOMES programs (~$113M from US DOE) have still not launched as of September 2026. ODOE has incorporated revised federal requirements issued June 1, 2026 and is awaiting US DOE approval; homeenergyrebates.oregon.gov states that no rebates are currently available.
Oregon rebate programs
Oregon Heat Pump Purchase Program (HP3)
$2,000Oregon Department of Energy's $2,000 heat pump incentive, paid through participating contractors. As of ODOE's August 5, 2026 funding chart, the owner-occupied existing-home category is fully reserved (0 of 2,000 incentives left), while rental properties (about 1,833 of 6,000 remaining) and new construction (about 3,353 of 4,000 remaining) still have funding. HP3 cannot be combined with federally funded programs such as HOMES and HEAR, and total incentives from all sources cannot exceed the installed cost; ODOE's FAQ says stacking with Energy Trust is otherwise allowed.
Energy Trust of Oregon Ducted Heat Pump Rebate
$1,000Energy Trust pays $1,000 for a central ducted heat pump (HSPF2 7.50 or higher) that replaces an electric forced-air furnace in a single-family or manufactured home served by PGE or Pacific Power. Rental properties, duplex-to-fourplex units, and income-qualified households get $3,000 instead, and a $4,000 tier applies to manufactured homes and to Pacific Power customers in Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla, and Wallowa counties. Install must be done by an Energy Trust trade ally.
Energy Trust of Oregon Ductless Heat Pump Rebate
$800Energy Trust pays $800 for a ductless heat pump (HSPF2 8.10 or higher) that replaces electric resistance heat in the main living space of a single-family or manufactured home served by PGE or Pacific Power. Income-qualified households, rental properties, and attached homes (duplex to fourplex) get $1,800, and manufactured homes on the 2026 promotion get $3,500. Install must be done by an Energy Trust trade ally.
Energy Trust Manufactured Home Heat Pump Special Offer
$4,000Manufactured home residents may qualify for a $3,500–$4,000 cash incentive on a professionally installed ducted or ductless heat pump through December 31, 2026. Incentives paid directly to contractor who deducts from invoice, reducing out-of-pocket costs. Must be served by PGE or Pacific Power and primarily heated by electric resistance heat.
Energy Trust Income-Qualified Heat Pump Enhanced Rebate
$3,000Income-qualified households and rental properties served by participating utilities can receive up to $3,000 for ducted or ductless heat pump installation; eligibility tied to household income relative to area median.
Oregon Community Heat Pump Deployment Program (CHPDP)
$7,000ODOE program delivered through regional and tribal administrators: up to $5,000 for a standard-efficiency heat pump or up to $7,000 for a higher-efficiency unit, plus up to $4,000 toward electrical panel or weatherization upgrades. Most regional and tribal administrators show funding fully reserved — as of August 2026 only the North Coast and North Central regions and the Burns Paiute Tribe still showed availability. Check your regional administrator before counting on it.
Oregon Rental Home Heat Pump Program (ORHHPP)
$0ODOE program for heat pumps in rental dwellings. General-public funding is fully reserved and ODOE is no longer accepting applications from the general public; funding remains available specifically for installations in rental housing occupied by members of Oregon's seven federally recognized tribes. Listed with a zero headline amount because no general-availability figure applies.
EWEB Residential Heat Pump Rebate
$6,000Eugene Water & Electric Board pays $1,000 for a ducted heat pump or $800 for a ductless heat pump that becomes the primary heat source, or, instead of the rebate, a zero-percent loan of up to $15,000 (ducted) or $6,000 plus $2,000 per additional head (ductless). Income-qualified owner-occupants get $6,000 ducted or $4,500 ductless and can combine the rebate with a loan; income-qualified rentals get $1,000. EWEB pre-approval is required before installation and only one heating system per account is eligible.

A worked example: ductless heat pump in Portland
Mei owns a 1,400 sq ft home in Portland served by PGE for electric service. She has an aging oil-fired floor furnace with no central AC. She gets quotes for a 2-ton ductless heat pump system (two heads — living room and master bedroom) plus retention of the oil furnace as backup. Installed cost: $9,800. Because she's a PGE customer working with an Energy Trust trade ally and her household income is approximately 75% of Multnomah County AMI (below the 80% threshold), she qualifies for the Energy Trust Income-Qualified Heat Pump Enhanced Rebate at up to $3,000. Energy Trust's standard $800 ductless rebate is subsumed by the enhanced income-qualified tier. HP3 for owner-occupied retrofits is fully reserved, so she can't claim the additional $2,000 ODOE rebate. Oregon HEAR hasn't launched. The federal §25C credit is gone. Combined stack: $3,000 against $9,800. Net out-of-pocket: $6,800. If Mei's household income had been 110% of AMI, her stack would default to the standard $800 ductless rebate — a $2,200 difference.
Choosing a contractor in Oregon
Oregon licenses HVAC contractors through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Verify CCB license at oregon.gov/ccb before signing. Energy Trust of Oregon rebates require an Energy Trust trade ally; the trade ally lookup is at energytrust.org. ODOE HP3 rebates require a participating contractor enrolled with the program. Consumer-owned utility rebates (EWEB, Springfield Utility Board, OTEC, EPUD, Midstate Electric) each have their own approved contractor expectations — confirm per utility.
Common pitfalls for Oregon homeowners
- Counting on HP3 for owner-occupied existing-home retrofits. As of early 2026, HP3 Round 1 + Round 2 funding for the existing owner-occupied home category is fully reserved. Owner-occupied retrofits cannot currently claim the $2,000 HP3 rebate. Rental property and new-construction allocations may still be available; check ODOE's live HP3 funding chart before relying on the incentive.
- Counting on Oregon HEAR for 2026. As of September 2026, Oregon HEAR has still not launched: ODOE incorporated revised US DOE requirements issued June 1, 2026 and is awaiting federal approval, and the state site says no rebates are currently available. Oregon HEAR funds are not yet flowing to homeowners. Income-qualified Oregonians cannot rely on the $8,000 federal point-of-sale rebate for 2026 installs. Monitor oregon.gov/energy for status.

How to claim each rebate
- Get pre-approved (where required). Some utility programs require approval before install. Check program details before signing a contract.
- Use a participating contractor. Many programs require a licensed installer from an approved contractor list — especially HEEHRA, which routes through CEC-approved contractors who process the rebate at point of sale.
- Save documentation. AHRI certificate, model numbers, and itemized invoice are required for most utility rebates.
- Submit utility rebate within 60–90 days of install. Some programs are first-come first-served and close mid-year — funding can run out before the calendar year does.
If you can't afford a replacement in Oregon
Rebates lower the price, but they still assume you can pay the rest. If your heating system is unsafe or has failed and a new one is out of reach, these programs repair or replace equipment at low or no cost for income-qualified households. Heat Pump Pricing Index is an independent information site — we don't fund, discount, or install equipment — so these are the doors to knock on first:
- Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). Free energy and health-and-safety repairs — an unsafe furnace is exactly the kind of problem it fixes — for households at or near 200% of the poverty line. Apply through your local community action agency: how to apply (energy.gov).
- LIHEAP. Heating-bill help plus, in most states, a crisis component for broken or dangerous heating equipment. Same local agency; Oregon LIHEAP contacts.
- USDA Section 504 Home Repair. For homeowners outside cities: 1% loans up to $40,000, and grants up to $10,000 for homeowners 62 and older to remove health and safety hazards. Program page and state offices (rd.usda.gov).
- Your utility and 211. Most electric and gas utilities run an income-qualified assistance fund — call the number on your bill and ask. Dialing 211 reaches a local specialist who knows which agencies in Oregon currently have funds.
Safety first: if a technician has told you a heat exchanger is cracked, stop using the furnace and make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector before anything else.
