I am experiencing a lower income. What resources does Energy Trust have for me?

Energy Trust has partnered with Lake County Resources Initiative (LCRI) in your area to deliver increased services to customers with lower incomes. This could include a free home energy assessment. To learn more about their program, reach out to LCRI at (541) 947-5461. Also, depending on household income, customers may qualify for free energy upgrade assistance programs available through local community action agencies and other community service providers. Learn more about free weatherization and heating equipment programs available for income-qualified households.

Why do I need to improve my home’s existing insulation?

When you improve your home’s insulation and air sealing you are creating a stronger barrier between the temperature outside your home and the desired temperature inside your home. When it comes to managing your energy usage a well-insulated home keeps your desired indoor temperature consistent for a longer period of time. That means your heating or cooling system doesn’t have to work as hard.

How do I know if a ducted or ductless heat pump will be better for my home?

Ductless heat pumps are a highly efficient way to provide heating and cooling to your home, and installation is easy. A single indoor ductless unit can heat and cool a large living space, making these systems especially suitable for homes with open floor plans. Operating entirely without ductwork, they eliminate any potential energy loss from leaky or unsealed ducts (which can account for 15–20% of heat loss in a home) and can make your home more comfortable while lowering your energy costs.

A ducted heat pump works in weather conditions down to about 35° F unassisted, and down to about 20° F with support from a backup electric furnace. Ducted systems may be suitable for homes with ducts in adequate/good repair that were built in or after 1985. They are a better choice for homes with closed floor plans.

Your contractor will work with you to determine which type of heat pump is best suited for your home.

What if my single-family home requires a larger heating system that is not eligible for this promotion?

This promotion may not meet the needs of every home. In some cases, larger system sizes or multi-head systems are needed to heat or cool other areas of the home. Learn more about incentives for these systems.

How are new gas furnaces different from older models?

Today’s gas furnaces are 90-95% efficient, compared to end-of-life standard models that are 15 years old or older and only 56-70% efficient.

What are heat pump controls?

Heat pump controls prevent your system from turning on when it’s not needed. Installing heat pump controls for your existing ducted heat pump system can save up to $100 on annual heating costs and help you maintain a comfortable home.
