How Much Does Energy Trust Pay for Heat Pumps?
How much you get back depends on the heat pump type, your home, your income, and in some cases your county. All these figures come from Energy Trust's heating page.
| What you install | Rebate | Who | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat pump replacing electric forced-air furnace (owner, single family/manufactured) | $1,000 | Any income | HSPF2 7.50+; replaces electric forced-air furnace as primary heat; electric backup with lockout at 35°F or lower |
| Heat pump (owner, duplex-fourplex/townhome) | $3,000 | Any income | HSPF2 7.50+; replaces electric forced-air furnace |
| Heat pump, Savings Within Reach | $3,000 | Income-qualified | household 81-150% of county median income; HSPF2 7.50+; replaces electric forced-air furnace |
| Heat pump, Regional Promotion (Coos, Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla, Wallowa counties) | $4,000 | Any income | applied through the Regional Promotion offer |
| Heat pump, Manufactured Home Heat Pump Promotion | $4,000 | Any income | manufactured home on electric forced-air furnace; participating contractor |
| Extended capacity heat pump (owner, single family/manufactured) | $1,000 | Any income | central ducted, CEE Tier 1 Path A; primary heat; no gas backup |
| Extended capacity heat pump, Savings Within Reach | $2,000 | Income-qualified | CEE Tier 1 Path A; no gas backup |
| Ductless heat pump (owner, single family/manufactured) | $800 | Any income | HSPF2 8.10+; replaces electric resistance heat in main living space |
| Ductless heat pump, Savings Within Reach | $1,800 | Income-qualified | HSPF2 8.10+; replaces electric resistance heat |
| Ductless heat pump, Manufactured Home Heat Pump Promotion | $3,500 | Any income | single-head interior system; participating contractor |
| Heat pump water heater, contractor installed | $1,200 | Any income | NEEA Tier 3+; replaces standard electric water heater; licensed contractor; instant discount via participating distributor; existing homes only |
| Heat pump water heater, retail instant discount (DIY) | $1,000 | Any income | bought in-store at a participating retailer; one unit per customer; NEEA Tier 3+ |
With a ducted heat pump, the air travels through ducts already in your house. A ductless one hangs on the wall indoors and skips ductwork altogether. The extended capacity option is a whole-home ducted setup built to hit a stricter efficiency bar, and gas backup heat is not allowed with it.
Who Qualifies for Energy Trust of Oregon?
The program serves Oregon households that use PGE, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas, or Avista. But only homeowners who get their electricity from PGE or Pacific Power can claim the electric heat pump rebates.
With the standard offers, you must own the home being upgraded. Rentals fall under separate Energy Trust offers.
The heat pump has to take the place of electric heat:
- A ducted heat pump must take over for an electric forced-air furnace that heats your home as the main source.
- A ductless heat pump must take over for electric resistance heat, like baseboard or wall units, in your main living area.
Savings Within Reach for Moderate Incomes
If your household earns between 81% and 150% of the median income for your county, Savings Within Reach pays more. That median is the middle point for households in the county, so half sit above it and half below. Single-family and manufactured homes both count.
To give you a sense of the numbers, a family of four in Multnomah County can earn up to $192,450 a year. With Savings Within Reach, a ducted heat pump brings $3,000 and a ductless one $1,800. Households earning 80% of county median income or less may get free or cheap upgrades from community programs.
Rules for Equipment and Installers
Your installer has to be an Energy Trust trade ally, which just means a contractor who has signed on to Energy Trust's approved network. The Regional and Manufactured Home promotions require a contractor who is taking part in that specific promotion.
The equipment has to hit a certain efficiency. HSPF2 measures how well a heat pump heats, and a bigger number means it uses less power to make the same warmth.
- Ducted heat pumps need an HSPF2 rating of at least 7.50.
- If you have a single-family or manufactured home, the ducted heat pump must have electric backup heat that locks out at 35°F or below.
- Ductless heat pumps need an HSPF2 rating of at least 8.10.
- An extended capacity model has to reach the CEE Tier 1 Path A level, and you cannot stack this rebate with other heat pump rebates.
Before you sign anything, ask your contractor to confirm the rating on the model in your quote.
Applying After Installation
Energy Trust lays out five steps for heat pump rebates:
- Go through the rebate details and rules to make sure your home and equipment qualify.
- Collect estimates and pick your contractor.
- Get the heat pump put in.
- Apply within 60 days of the install date, online at energytrust.org/now, by mail, or by email.
- Keep up with maintenance so the system runs well over time.
The 60-day clock starts on the day of installation, not the day the bill arrives.
Discounts for Heat Pump Water Heaters
With a heat pump water heater, the discount comes off the purchase price, so there is nothing to apply for. Heating water uses about 20% of a home's energy. The unit must carry a Tier 3 rating or better from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance.
| Purchase method | Amount | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Contractor installation | $1,200 | A licensed contractor buys the unit from a participating distributor; it swaps out an ordinary electric tank; existing homes only |
| Store purchase for self-installation | $1,000 | From a participating retailer, in the store; limit of one unit per customer |
This offer goes to Oregon customers of PGE or Pacific Power. Brand-new homes are not eligible.
Can a Federal Tax Credit Be Stacked With This?
The federal credit for home efficiency upgrades has ended. Public Law 119-21, which was signed on July 4, 2025, ends it for equipment put into service after December 31, 2025.
Loans to Cover the Rest
Energy Trust offers on-bill loans and Savings Within Reach financing worth up to $30,000, with as long as 10 years to pay. Oregon Avista customers can pay the loan back through their utility bill via Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union.
Questions People Ask
When will you see the money?
According to Energy Trust, the review takes six to eight weeks after they get your paperwork.

Beyond heat pumps and the water-heater discounts, the moderate-income offer pays $1.50 per square foot to insulate an attic.

Are ductless heat pumps part of the Eastern Oregon offer?
That regional promotion offers as much as $4,000 for ducted systems. For ductless units, Energy Trust lists no regional amount.
