Worked example: one Oregon home
Take a 3-ton air-source system (2 outdoor units) replacing electric baseboard or resistance heat. These are example inputs, not typical prices. Each program's own rule gives the amounts below; where one program has several tiers only the largest one counts, separate programs add up, and a percentage offer with no cost entered is shown at its ceiling.
| Utility | Not income-qualified | Moderate income | Low income | Replacing baseboard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PGE, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade or Avista (Energy Trust of Oregon) | $1,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 | $1,000 |
For a household that is not income-qualified, the example comes to $1,000, made of $1,000 from Energy Trust heat pumps (Ducted heat pump replacing an electric furnace). A household that meets a program's low-income definition gets $2,000 more in the same example, because 1 offer is paid at the income-qualified level.
Who can use these Oregon offers
Every household in Oregon covered by Energy Trust of Oregon can apply; the offers are not limited to one utility's territory. None of these program pages lists an end date, and each can change or stop while funds last.
