Welding Equipment

For many Oregon businesses welders are a significant energy expense. Energy Trust offers incentives for replacing less efficient transformer-based welders with high-efficiency inverter-based welders which can reduce energy consumption in both active welding and idling states. There are typically smaller units that run quieter and create a high quality, cleaner weld, saving on clean-up time and decreasing the need for repairs.

If you are a commercial customer, visit the service shops and warehouses page to view available incentives.
