State of Oregon: INCENTIVES - Community Heat Pump Deployment Program

SB 1536, passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2022, allocated $10 million to the Oregon Department of Energy to support heat pump installations in Oregon homes.

The Community Heat Pump Deployment Program provides financial assistance to homeowners towards the purchase and installation of heat pumps in owner-occupied residences. Through two rounds of opportunity announcements, ODOE has selected eligible entities to serve as regional administrators in the 11 regions throughout the state. Regional administrators will distribute incentives to applicants in their region. The regions are the economic development districts in Oregon, designated by the Economic Development Administration of the United States Department of Commerce, for which a regional solutions center has been established under ORS 284.754.

Administrators for six of the regions were identified and awarded in mid-2023. Administrators for the five remaining regions were identified and awarded in 2024. A contract is in place for the North Coast region and more information is expected in Fall 2024. Two of the nine federally recognized Indian tribes in Oregon have elected to pursue funding through the Community Heat Pump Deployment Program, but members of all Tribes may also apply through their regional administrators. Funding for Tribal members of the seven Tribes without an administrator is available via the Oregon Rental Home Heat Pump Program.

See the map below to determine your home’s region. Contact information for the administrator for your region or Tribe is available in the table below. Contact your region's administrator for information on how to apply.

The incentive amounts available are:

Up to $5,000 for the purchase and installation of a heat pump that meets minimum efficiency requirements
Up to $7,000 for the purchase and installation of a heat pump that meets higher efficiency requirements

Note: Efficiency requirement technical specifications may be found in the program rules, Sections 330-270-0040 (6) and (8).

A grant of up to $4,000 may also be available for eligible upgrades such as a new electrical panel or weatherization or structural repairs that reduce heat and cooling loss. The incentive and grant amounts may not exceed 100% of the cost of purchase and installation of a heat pump or eligible upgrades.

Stakeholder Engagement

ODOE held two virtual public meetings in September 2022 to gather input on designing the agency's new heat pump incentive programs. These meetings preceded the formal administrative rulemaking process for both the Community Heat Pump Deployment Program and the Oregon Rental Home Heat Pump Program, and gave members of the public an opportunity to inform program design early in the implementation process.

See our Rulemaking page for more information on public rulemaking meetings and hearings. Information about the program's Advisory Council and its meetings is available here.
