Oregon customers heating their homes with electricity or natural gas from Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas can participate.
NW Natural customers in Washington who heat their homes with natural gas can receive our incentives.
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.
Follow these easy steps to get cash for air sealing your home:
1: Establish your eligibility.
2: Select a trade ally contractor and have the work done.
To receive an Energy Trust cash incentive, contact a qualified, energy-efficiency trained Energy Trust trade ally contractor who is certified to perform an air leakage test.
If you plan to apply for the Home Comfort Package, you must install attic, wall and floor insulation, seal air leaks, and work with an Energy Tust trade ally contractor to install your upgrades.
3: Sign and submit your incentive application within 90 days of installation. Often, your contractor will help you complete the form.
