The Energy Trust of Oregon is an incredible resource for homeowners, offering cash incentives that make energy-efficient upgrades more affordable. By helping offset the cost of new equipment, the Energy Trust encourages smarter energy use across Portland and Central Oregon.
Why does this matter? For homeowners, these programs mean lower monthly utility bills, improved home comfort, and a smaller carbon footprint. With Roth’s decades of experience since 1976, we help homeowners choose upgrades that qualify for the right rebates while ensuring every system is installed for long-term performance.
Stay Cool, Save Green: Cash Incentives for Cooling Solutions
When the summer sun heats up Portland or Central Oregon, reliable cooling becomes essential. The Energy Trust of Oregon offers cash incentives that make high-efficiency cooling systems more affordable.
The Power of Heat Pumps
Modern heat pumps are often overlooked for cooling, but they are among the most efficient systems available. By transferring heat instead of creating it, they provide excellent cooling performance in summer while doubling as heating systems in winter.
Ducted Heat Pumps
For homes with existing ductwork, ducted heat pumps are a smart choice. They distribute cool air evenly throughout the home and qualify for generous cash incentives. In many cases, homeowners can receive up to $700 toward a ducted heat pump upgrade, though it is always best to check the Energy Trust of Oregon’s current offerings for the latest amounts.
Ductless Heat Pumps (Mini-Splits)
If your home does not have ductwork, a ductless mini-split system is ideal. These units allow for zoned comfort, making them perfect for older Portland homes or targeted areas like additions, attics, and basements. Incentives for ductless systems can be even higher, with rebates up to $1,300 available for qualifying installations.
Why Upgrade Your AC with Energy Trust of Oregon?
The benefits extend beyond the cash incentive. Homeowners enjoy superior comfort, lower operating costs, and peace of mind knowing their system meets energy efficiency standards. Roth’s certified technicians ensure your new system is sized and installed correctly so you receive the full value of the upgrade.
Warm Up to Savings: Heating Solutions Incentives
Portland winters are damp and chilly, and Central Oregon sees its share of freezing nights. Reliable heating is a necessity, and the Energy Trust of Oregon helps reduce the cost of upgrading to modern systems.
Heat Pumps: The All-in-One Solution
Heat pumps shine in this category as well, delivering both heating and cooling in a single unit. Cash incentives are available for both ducted and ductless options, making them a top choice for homeowners looking to improve comfort year-round.
High-Efficiency Gas Furnaces
For households that rely on natural gas, upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace can significantly reduce utility bills. The Energy Trust of Oregon often provides cash rebates up to $550 for qualifying models. In some cases, income-qualified households may qualify for incentives exceeding $1,000, further lowering upfront costs.
Smart Thermostats
While not as large an investment as a new furnace or heat pump, smart thermostats play a critical role in energy management. These devices optimize heating schedules, reduce waste, and often come with cash incentives from the Energy Trust of Oregon.
Hot Water, Cooler Bills: Water Heater Cash Rebates
Water heating accounts for a major portion of energy use in most homes. The Energy Trust of Oregon offers several incentives to help families save money while improving efficiency.
Heat Pump Water Heaters (HPWH)
Heat pump water heaters are considered the gold standard for efficiency. Instead of generating heat directly, they use electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into the water. This process is two to three times more efficient than traditional water heating.
Homeowners can take advantage of significant savings, including instant discounts of up to $700 at participating retailers. For many, this incentive makes switching to a heat pump water heater both practical and cost-effective.
Tankless Water Heaters (Gas)
For families who prefer on-demand hot water, tankless gas water heaters provide efficiency and convenience. Incentive amounts vary depending on the system’s BTU input, but the Energy Trust of Oregon often provides cash back for qualifying installations. Roth’s team ensures the right unit is selected and installed so you receive the maximum rebate available.
