Gas furnace—$100
Minimum 90 percent or greater AFUE; incentive available for primary heat source only. Incentive available through October 1, 2010.

Washington customers of NW Natural are not eligible to receive the Gas Furnace and Water Heater Package incentive.
Incentive offer is subject to availability of funding and may change.
Tax Credits

Federal energy tax credit: 30 percent of cost, up to $1,500. See rules and requirements.
Manufacturer rebates
Ask your contractor about rebates that can save you even more money.
Oregon customers heating their homes with natural gas from NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas are eligible to apply for the Gas Furnace and Water Heater Package through April 30, 2010.
Washington customers heating their homes with natural gas from NW Natural can receive the $100 gas furnace incentive until October 1, 2010.
Oregon homes that heat with oil, propane, kerosene, butane or wood can conduct their own energy audit and apply for cash rebates for installed weatherization upgrades through the Oregon Department of Energy's SHOW (State Home Oil Weatherization) program.
Energy Trust does not pay incentives for energy-efficient improvements that are mandated for building code compliance, such as remodeling, renovation or new additions to the home.
