Program Overviews

The Oregon Department of Energy 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 Rebates Program (also known as HEAR) will provide rebates for high-efficiency home improvements and appliance installation to eligible single-family and multifamily households, particularly low- and moderate-income households.

These programs are NOT yet live. The state is still waiting for federal approval and finalizing the program details.

Which program is right for me?

Here are the official details and updates from the Oregon Department of Energy:

HOME ENERGY REBATES PROGRAM - SAVE ENERGY TODAY!

We are enrolled with the Oregon Department of Energy and are actively monitoring these programs. Once they launch, we’ll be ready to help you navigate the application process and get you the rebates you deserve.

In the meantime, if you have questions about any upcoming energy projects or want to plan ahead, we’re always here to talk.

  • No rebates are available at this time. We will post launch information as soon as we have more information on timeline from the U.S. Department of Energy.

    Once we have approval, the home energy rebate programs will launch in phases.  

    • Phase 1 | Upgrades to single-family homes: ODOE will open applications for HOMES and HEAR rebates for owner and tenant occupied single-family properties. 

    • Phase 2 | Upgrades at multifamily properties: ODOE will open applications for HOMES and HEAR rebates for owner and tenant occupied multifamily properties, with upgrades that include shared heating and cooling systems, weatherization, upgrades to individual units, and upgrades to efficient appliances. 

    • Phase 3 | In-store rebates: HEAR rebate coupons will be available for use at participating retail locations across the state with purchase of a qualifying appliance.  

  • ODOE was awarded over $113 million from the U.S. Department of Energy for two new home energy rebate programs that will provide financial incentives to single-family and multifamily households for eligible high-efficiency home improvements, appliances, and equipment.   

  • Energy Trust of Oregon and Earth Advantage will be responsible for processing rebates for the programs, including verifying income, reviewing applications, and more.

    Find who is processing your rebate based on your utility provider. Energy Trust of Oregon will deliver the programs in areas served by PGE and Pacific Power. Earth Advantage will deliver the programs in the 38 consumer-owned and Idaho Power Company service areas.
