Summary

Energy Trust of Oregon offers a variety of incentives and services through their Residential incentives program. All equipment eligible for incentives needs to meet the efficiency requirements stated in the program guidelines. Incentive amounts vary by project type with eligible residences including owned or rented single family, manufactured, townhouses, duplex, triplex, or fourplex homes. Customers can see all individual product incentives and eligibility requirements here or here. Income-qualified households may be provided additional incentives.

Homeowners may use Energy Trust's online Home Assessment Tool to receive personalized recommendations on how to improve energy efficiency. After the new measures have been installed by a licensed trade ally contractor, Energy Trust may request a follow-up inspection to verify the installation of all measures for which an incentive has been requested. To be eligible for these incentives, the home must be located within the service territory of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas, or Avista.

In addition to the incentives mentioned above, Energy Trust has various limited-time offers for home energy efficiency improvements. Details about these incentives can be found on Energy Trust's Promotions page.
