Oregon Heat Pump Purchase Program

​​​Oregon’s Heat Pump Purchase Program​ provides $2,000 heat pump incentives for homeowners, rental property owners, and new construction developers/builders. Funding is made available through a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Climate Pollution Reduction Grant.
February 2025 Update: 
ODOE is actively monitoring changes at the federal level and any effect they have on federally funded energy programs in Oregon. Currently, the $197 million Climate Pollution Reduction Grant that EPA awarded Oregon, which includes funding for this Heat Pump Purchase Program (HP3), is available​. This program is an important part of ODOE's work to implement heat pumps to reduce energy use, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and to provide life-saving heating and cooling to Oregonians. We will continue our work at the state level while monitoring the availability of funds.​

-----

The Oregon Department of Energy will disburse Heat Pump Purchase Program funding in two rounds, one in 2025 and one in 2027. ODOE expects to begin accepting applications for the first round of funding in Spring 2025 (subject to change). Both rounds will consist of 6,000 incentives (1,000 incentives for owner-occupied residences, 3,000 incentives for rentals, and 2,000 incentives for new construction). Contractors must be approved by ODOE and must apply through the online portal on behalf of their customers.​

​Additional information and links for applications
and other materials will be available Spring 2025.
