Energy Trust Rebates for Heat Pumps, Ductless Heat Pumps and Gas Furnaces

Energy Trust rebates can take hundreds or even thousands of dollars off a new heating system. At Comfort Solutions Heating & Cooling, we help Portland-area homeowners find out which rebates they qualify for. As an Energy Trust trade ally, we take your rebate off your invoice up front and handle the paperwork for you.

What is Energy Trust of Oregon?

Energy Trust of Oregon is a nonprofit funded by customers of PGE, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas and Avista. If one of those utilities serves your home, you may be eligible. The amounts below are current as of October 2026.

How Much Are Energy Trust Rebates in 2026?

Your rebate depends on three things: the equipment, your home type and your current heating system. In general, owner-occupied single-family homes get the base amount. Rentals, attached homes and income-qualified households get more.

Energy Trust Rebates

A ducted heat pump heats and cools your whole home through your existing ductwork. To qualify, the new heat pump must replace an electric forced-air furnace as your main heat source.

Home type Standard heat pump Extended capacity (cold-climate) heat pump
Owner-occupied single-family or manufactured home $1,000 $1,000
Owner-occupied duplex, triplex, fourplex or townhome $3,000 $2,000
Rental property $3,000 $2,000
Income-qualified (Savings Within Reach) $3,000 $2,000

Requirements at a glance

  • Standard heat pump: HSPF2 rating of 7.50 or higher.
  • Backup heat, if any, must be electric, with the thermostat lockout set at 35°F or lower.
  • Extended capacity heat pump: central ducted system meeting CEE Tier 1 Path A, with no gas backup.
  • Only one heat pump incentive per project.

 

A ductless heat pump is a great fit for homes heated by baseboards, wall heaters or ceiling heat. It needs no ductwork, and it cools your home in summer.

Home type Ductless heat pump rebate
Owner-occupied single-family or manufactured home $800
Owner-occupied duplex, triplex, fourplex or townhome $1,800
Rental property $1,800
Income-qualified (Savings Within Reach) $1,800

Requirements at a glance

  • HSPF2 rating of 8.10 or higher, as listed by AHRI.
  • Must replace electric resistance heat in the main living space.
  • The largest indoor unit must go in the main living area, such as the living room.

Today’s high-efficiency gas furnaces turn 95% or more of their fuel into heat. By comparison, a furnace 15 or more years old may run at just 56–70% efficiency.

Home type Gas furnace rebate
Owner-occupied duplex, triplex, fourplex or townhome $1,600
Rental property (any home type) $1,600
Income-qualified (Savings Within Reach) $1,600

Requirements at a glance

  • 95% AFUE or higher, and the furnace must be your home’s main heat source.
  • Not eligible as backup for a heat pump (dual-fuel or hybrid systems).
  • A carbon monoxide monitor is required on every floor with a bedroom.
  • Your home must be heated by NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas or Avista.

In 2026, Energy Trust does not offer a standard furnace rebate for owner-occupied, detached single-family homes. However, many of those households qualify for the $1,600 income-qualified rebate. We’re a Savings Within Reach contractor, so we can check your eligibility and apply it for you.
