Energy-saving home improvements
With your energy-saving action plan, you will have all the information to make your upgrades. To install energy-efficient upgrades, contact an Energy Trust trade ally contractor, or any other licensed and bonded contractor, to discuss and schedule installation of eligible energy-saving measures for your home.
Cash back for completed home improvements
After your contractor installs your energy-saving improvements and within 120 days of measure installation, simply submit a copy of the contractor’s invoice with Energy Trust Incentive Form 300A, confirming that your home improvements were completed. (You or your contractor can submit both materials.)
If you plan to install your own insulation (excluding duct and wall insulation), or work with an Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB)-licensed contractor who is not an Energy Trust trade ally, call us at 1-866-368-7878 before beginning work to receive pre-approval. Attic or floor insulation can be self-installed with pre-approval from Energy Trust.
Mail the completed form and invoice to:
Home Energy Solutions
P.O. Box 847
Portland, Oregon 97207
Or, fax to: 1-866-516-7592
You will receive your incentive check six to eight weeks after we receive your invoice and completed form.
You can also receive cash incentives when you purchase featured ENERGY STAR qualified products, such as clothes washers, refrigerators and compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL).
Take the next step with Home Performance with ENERGY STAR
Your Energy Advisor may suggest that you consider scheduling a Home Performance with ENERGY STAR comprehensive home assessment.
Assessments take three to four hours and are performed by a certified contractor who evaluates every component of your home’s interior and exterior.
Today’s solar energy systems are reliable, attractive and affordable with Energy Trust incentives and Oregon Residential Energy Tax Credits.
If you are interested in installing solar electric or water heating, your Advisor can evaluate your home, explain how solar systems work, and inform you about Energy Trust solar incentives.
Homeowners who are Oregon customers using heat provided by Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas are eligible to participate in Energy Trust programs.
Owners and renters are eligible. Most improvements require the permission of the landlord to install.
Oregon customers of PGE and Pacific Power living in homes heated with oil, propane, kerosene, butane or wood may be eligible for weatherization incentives through the Oregon Department of Energy’s SHOW Program.
1Energy Trust maintains a network of trade ally contractors. Contractors who are not participating in Energy Trust’s Trade Ally Network are eligible to install recommended measures if they are licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board.
2Financing is available to help you install recommended measures. You can choose between cash incentives and 100% financing of qualifying measures. Home Performance with ENERGY STAR jobs are eligible for a lower interest rate. Participants may not receive both cash incentives and a loan for standard measures; however, participants may be eligible to receive a cash bonus for installing multiple qualifying measures.
3Energy Trust provides technical assistance and financial incentives but does not develop, sell or install energy systems or equipment. This work is done by independent businesses that are solely responsible for the quality and performance of their installations.
