Oregon Energy Rebates 2026
Oregon's federal HOMES and HEAR rebates are administered by Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE), and as of July 2026 they have not launched. The programs are designed and funded but not launched; the Oregon Department of Energy has no launch date because DOE suspended approvals of state launch requests. No Oregon HOMES or HEAR rebate can be claimed today. The utility and weatherization programs listed further down this page are available today. The 25C and 25D federal tax credits expired December 31, 2025.

Learn moreArea Median Income (AMI) in Oregon
HOMES and HEAR rebate amounts depend on your household income relative to the Area Median Income in your area. AMI varies by county and household size.
| Area | 80% AMI (Family of 4) | 150% AMI (Family of 4) |
|---|---|---|
| Multnomah County | $102,650 | $192,400 |
| Marion County | $81,450 | $152,700 |
| Lane County | $78,700 | $147,500 |
| Jackson County | $78,500 | $147,100 |
| Deschutes County | $96,150 | $180,200 |
| Linn County | $79,050 | $148,200 |
Eligibility is set by county and household size. The 80% figures are the HUD FY2026 income limits published for each county and are reproduced as-is. HUD does not publish a 150% limit, so that column is computed from the 80% limit; checked against Minnesota's official 2026 county table, the method lands within $200 on every county, but where your state publishes its own table, that table governs. Figures are for a 4-person household and change with household size.

Energy Rebate Calculator is an independent website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. Department of Energy, Oregon, or any other government agency, and nothing on this page is an offer, an application, or a promise of payment.
Federal and state rebate programs launch, pause, change their amounts and run out of funds without notice, and eligibility rules differ by county, household size, housing type and sometimes by region within a state. Most programs also refuse to pay for work completed before their launch date. Figures here are published to help you understand roughly where you stand, not to be relied on as the final word.
Confirm your eligibility and the current terms directly with the administering agency, and get written confirmation, before you sign a contract or buy equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What energy rebates are available in Oregon in 2026?
Oregon homeowners in 2026 can stack multiple incentives: (1) Federal HEAR rebates for heat pumps (up to $8,000), heat pump water heaters ($1,750), insulation ($1,600), electrical panels ($4,000) for income-qualified households (≤150% AMI); (2) HOMES whole-home performance rebates up to $8,000; (3) Energy Trust of Oregon cash rebates (available to Pacific Power and PGE customers regardless of income); (4) Free weatherization services for income-qualified households. The 25C and 25D federal tax credits expired December 31, 2025.
Are federal tax credits still available in Oregon?
No. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA, P.L. 119-21, signed July 4, 2025) terminated the Section 25C and 25D federal energy tax credits for installations after December 31, 2025. If you installed qualifying equipment before that date, you can still claim the credit on your 2025 tax return. For 2026 installations, HEAR, HOMES, and Energy Trust rebates are the primary incentive paths.
What is the Energy Trust of Oregon and how is it different from HEAR?
Energy Trust of Oregon is an independent nonprofit funded by a small charge on Pacific Power and Portland General Electric (PGE) customer bills. Unlike HEAR (which has income limits), Energy Trust rebates are available to ALL Pacific Power and PGE customers regardless of income. Energy Trust and HEAR can be stacked, for example, a heat pump installation could earn an Energy Trust rebate plus up to $8,000 in HEAR rebates for income-qualifying households.
Are heat pumps cost-effective in Oregon given low electricity rates?
Yes, particularly for households switching from oil, propane, or electric resistance heating. Oregon's electricity rates (~11¢/kWh) are among the lowest in the country due to abundant hydropower. Heat pumps are 2–4x more efficient than resistance heating, making operating costs very low. For households replacing gas or oil systems, the economics depend on current gas prices, but the HEAR rebate (up to $8,000) significantly reduces upfront installation costs.
How do I access Energy Trust rebates in Oregon?
If you are a Pacific Power or Portland General Electric (PGE) customer, visit energytrust.org/for-homes/ to find participating contractors and current rebate amounts. Energy Trust has a network of qualified contractors who handle the rebate paperwork on your behalf. For non-Pacific Power/PGE customers (such as those served by Idaho Power in eastern Oregon or Pacificorp subsidiaries), contact your specific utility for available programs.
