Program Overview
The Oregon Rental Home Heat Pump Program supports the purchase and installation of heat
pumps in rental homes to offer much-needed heat relief. Program funds, totaling $15 million,
are available for heat pump installations in dwelling units used as a residential tenancy
and manufactured homes or recreational vehicles located in a rented space.
Rebates and grants will be issued to approved contractors who install eligible heat pumps
and carry out upgrades to facilitate the installation of the heat pumps in rental homes. The
full rebate and grant amount issued to the contractor is then passed on to the customer
(rental home owner) as savings on the cost of the installation and upgrade.
To become an approved contractor, contractors must
first register with ODOE. Before installing a heat pump, approved contractors must first submit a
rebate reservation request. ODOE will reserve funds for eligible projects, then the contractor can install the heat
pump and complete related upgrades prior to requesting payment. Each reservation is valid
for 180 days, unless extended. Contractors can use
this guide
to help them through the reservation process.
The amount of awarded rebates and grants depends on the heat pump type, dwelling type, and
income group of the
tenant.
