Who is eligible
- electric heat first
- The heat pump incentives are for homes served by PGE or Pacific Power; ductless units must replace electric resistance heat, ducted ones an electric forced-air furnace.
- no gas backup
- Ducted and extended-capacity heat pumps cannot have a backup gas heating system.
- rentals
- Since 1 January 2026 the higher rental incentives can be paid directly to customers instead of as a trade ally's discount.
- deadline
- Apply within 60 days of installation, with invoices marked paid in full unless it is an instant incentive or Savings Within Reach project.
Where the application goes
Apply online or on Form 320C-HVAC after installation, or ask an Energy Trust trade ally to take an instant incentive off the invoice.

The thing most pages get wrong
Rebate guides quote Energy Trust's '$800' for a ductless heat pump without the condition: it 'Must replace electric resistance heat in the main living space'. One guide also lists '$1,000–$3,000 for extended-capacity systems'; the $3,000 extended-capacity offer for replacing an electric furnace was discontinued on 1 January 2026, leaving $1,000 for owners and $2,000 for rentals and Savings Within Reach.
No gas furnace incentive for an owner-occupied home
The 2026 Oregon sheet lists $1,600 for a 95% gas furnace in a rental, an attached home or a Savings Within Reach home, and no row for an owner-occupied single-family home. The Washington sheet in the same PDF still pays $800 for one.
What else changed in 2026
Energy Trust stopped paying for windows in Oregon, for advanced heat pump controls, and for smart thermostats in electrically heated homes on 1 January 2026; thermostats in gas-heated homes still get $100 to $250.
