Hundreds of PGE customers have installed new energy-efficient heat pumps, and they’re glad they did. Here’s what a few customers have to say about this affordable heating and cooling choice:*

“We saved $180 in electricity in the first two months. Now our home is comfortable all the time.” — Tanya Elkins, PGE customer, Milwaukie

The Elkins family said goodbye to high heating costs when they replaced their electric furnace with an energy-efficient heat pump. “We were spending $300 a month and our home was always cold,” says Tanya Elkins.

Now the Elkins’ heating costs are under control, and they enjoy year-round comfort with efficient heating and cooling. “We received a PGE rebate, an Energy Trust cash incentive and a tax credit, which put a total of $900 back in our pocket,” adds Tanya.

“Extracting heat from the outside air and bringing it inside is kind of like recycling the energy that is all around us.” — Carlos Simpson, PGE customer, Salem

Carlos Simpson didn’t think twice about buying a new energy-efficient heat pump. After all, his Salem home already had a heat pump — one that lasted 18 years.

In addition to their dependability, Carlos is sold on heat pumps because of their efficiency — the way they heat his home by moving heat from the outside and bringing it inside.

“I will continue to buy heat pumps,” says Carlos. “The air temperature is very constant and comfortable.”

“Our new heat pump is a very efficient source of heat, it’s quiet and it will keep us cool in summer. It’s the best choice for us.” — Curtis Smith, PGE customer, Corbett

Curtis Smith and his wife Rita are thrilled with how comfortable their home is since installing an energy-efficient heat pump to replace radiant ceiling heat.

A $200 PGE rebate, $400 Energy Trust cash incentive and Oregon Energy Tax Credit made the Smith’s investment an easy choice.
