Just follow 3 easy steps to obtain your incentives and start saving.
Step 1- Establish your eligibility.
Oregon residential customers who heat their homes with energy from Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas are eligible to participate.
Homes that heat with oil, propane, kerosene, butane or wood can conduct their own energy audit and apply for cash rebates for installed weatherization measures through the Oregon Department of Energy's SHOW (State Home Oil Weatherization) program.
If you are eligible, schedule a FREE Home Energy Review to identify energy saving opportunities in your home. Or consider a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® assessment for comprehensive recommendations.Step 2- Select a contractor to install your duct insulation.
To receive an Energy Trust cash incentive, contact an Energy Trust trade ally contractor, or any other licensed contractor with a current Construction Contractors Board (CCB) license. (If you are seeking to apply for any bonus package incentives, you must use a trade ally contractor to install your measures.)Step 3- Sign and submit form. Submit your contractor's invoice with Form 300A within 120 days of initial measure installation to:

Energy Trust Energy Saving Tips!
Unsealed ductwork often leaks—a significant and common energy waster in Oregon homes. If you are considering insulating your ducts, test them for leakage first—it's much easier and cheaper to seal ducts before they are insulated. See the Duct Sealing page for information on available Energy Trust incentives.
