Money for home improvements
Energy Trust offers cash back on energy-saving upgrades.
When Sarah Hill moved into a fixer-upper in Portland’s Ladd’s Addition neighborhood, she was cold and uncomfortable. But thanks to cash incentives from Energy Trust of Oregon, her home is now much cozier and her energy bills have dropped dramatically.
Incentives cover half of project costs
“Adding insulation and sealing air leaks helped make my upstairs bedroom into a much more livable space. Energy Trust incentives, along with state and federal tax credits, covered half of my costs,” Sarah explains. “And the changes I made helped cut my energy bills in half.*”
Wide range of energy upgrades earn money
Because you’re a Portland General Electric customer like Sarah, you, too, can earn cash back from Energy Trust on select energy-efficiency improvements. Some of the categories include:
- qualifying ENERGY STAR’ refrigerators, dishwashers and clothes washers
- weatherization
- heat pumps
- solar electric and solar water heating systems
Incentives range from $25 for a qualifying dishwasher up to $20,000 for a solar electric system.
See the complete list of qualifying projects, guidelines, incentive amounts and a list of contractors on the Energy Trust Web site.
