Electric Dryer Rebates in Oregon (2026)

The federal HOMES and HEAR rebates have not launched in Oregon, so no federal electric dryer rebate can be claimed there today. This page sets out what the programmes will pay once they open, alongside the state and utility rebates that are available now.

These rebates have not launched in Oregon yet. 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, and rebates are generally not issued retroactively for work completed before launch, so check the official page before committing to a project. The amounts below are the federal framework and may change before launch. Source: Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE).

Programme status and income limits on this page were last checked against official state and federal sources on 31 July 2026. These programmes change without notice.

Federal and state rebate programmes 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 programmes also refuse to pay for work completed before their launch date.

Confirm your eligibility and the current terms directly with the administering agency, and get written confirmation, before you sign a contract or buy equipment. Where this page cites an official source, that source governs. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I get for a electric dryer in Oregon?

Nothing yet. HEAR is not launched yet in Oregon, so no federal electric dryer rebate can be claimed there today, and rebates are generally not paid for work completed before a programme launches. Once it opens, the federal framework allows up to varies for households at or below 80% of Area Median Income, and 50% of the cost up to the same cap for households between 80% and 150% AMI. Utility rebates may be available now regardless.

Is the HEAR program open in Oregon for electric dryer rebates?

The HEAR status in Oregon is: Not launched yet. No application is possible today. Check the official programme page rather than relying on a contractor telling you otherwise.

Can I combine electric dryer rebates with other incentives in Oregon?

Not yet. Neither HEAR nor HOMES has launched in Oregon, so there is no federal rebate to stack there today. Once they open you will typically be able to combine them with each other, with state programmes like Energy Trust of Oregon, and with utility rebates. Combined incentives generally cannot exceed 100% of the project cost, and the same measure cannot always be claimed twice.

What income qualifies for the maximum electric dryer rebate in Oregon?

To qualify for the maximum rebate, your household income must be at or below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) for your county in Oregon. For example, in Multnomah County, 80% AMI for a family of 4 is $102,650. Households between 80% and 150% AMI receive 50% of costs up to the cap.

How much is the rebate for an electric dryer?

The HEAR program provides up to $840 for electric clothes dryers. Households at or below 80% AMI get 100% of costs covered up to the cap. Households between 80-150% AMI get 50% of costs. Heat pump dryers and standard electric dryers both qualify.

What is a heat pump dryer and should I get one?

A heat pump dryer recycles hot air instead of venting it outside, using about 50% less energy than conventional dryers. They run at lower temperatures, which is gentler on clothes. They cost more upfront ($800-$1,400 vs. $400-$800 for standard electric) but save $50-$100 per year in energy costs. The HEAR rebate can offset the price difference.

Do I need a 240V outlet for an electric dryer?

Most standard electric dryers require a 240V outlet. If you're switching from a gas dryer, you'll likely need a new 240V circuit installed. The cost of this wiring may be covered separately under the $2,500 HEAR wiring rebate, in addition to the $840 dryer rebate.
