## Quick answer

For most Oregon owner-occupied single-family homes, Energy Trust of Oregon's standard heat pump incentive is $1,000 for a ducted heat pump replacing an electric forced-air furnace and $800 for a ductless system replacing electric resistance heat, as listed on its pages checked October 27, 2026. The $4,000 and $3,500 figures in Energy Trust marketing are for a manufactured-home promotion and a regional promotion in Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla and Wallowa counties, not the standard path. ODOE's separate HP3 program pays up to $2,000, but its page showed owner-occupied funding fully reserved as of its October 1, 2026 update. Federal HOMES/HEAR rebates had not opened to homeowners as of ODOE's September 22, 2026 announcement.

Oregon quotes often carry a single "rebates" line. The programs behind it do not agree with each other: Energy Trust lists $1,000 for one owner-occupied path and $4,000 for another, the state's HP3 program has run out of owner-occupied money, and the larger federal-funded rebates have not opened. This guide separates them, with the date each figure was checked.

## Quick answer

As of October 27, 2026, an owner-occupied single-family Oregon home on the standard path should expect, from the program pages themselves:

- **Energy Trust ducted heat pump** replacing an electric forced-air furnace: $1,000.
- **Energy Trust ductless heat pump** replacing electric resistance heat in the main living space: $800.
- **Energy Trust extended capacity heat pump** (central ducted, CEE Tier 1 Path A, no gas backup): $1,000.
- **ODOE HP3**: up to $2,000 per residence, but the owner-occupied category showed $0 of funding available and 0 of 2,000 incentives left on a table updated October 1, 2026.
- **Federal HOMES/HEAR**: not open to homeowners. ODOE's September 22, 2026 post said applications open only after U.S. DOE approval, with no date given.
- **Federal 25C tax credit**: not available for equipment placed in service after December 31, 2025, per the [IRS](https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/energy-efficient-home-improvement-credit). See [heat pump tax credit 2026](/guides/heat-pump-tax-credit-2026).

If a quote subtracts $4,000 for a ducted system, ask which program, home type and county that figure comes from.

## Why the headline number may not be yours

Energy Trust's pages give different figures for different readers. The standard owner-occupied single-family table lists $1,000 ducted and $800 ductless. The same organization's regional special-offer page lists $4,000 ducted and up to $3,500 ductless, limited to Pacific Power customers in four eastern Oregon counties, and notes the $3,500 ductless figure applies to manufactured homes while single-family and attached homes get $1,800. A contractor who quotes the larger number to a Portland-area owner-occupant is quoting a program that home likely cannot use.

Two other conditions change what a quote can claim:

- **Fuel being replaced.** The ducted table is written for replacing an electric forced-air furnace, and the ductless line for replacing electric resistance heat. We did not see a line for replacing a gas furnace on the pages checked. If you heat with gas, ask Energy Trust in writing what applies before any rebate is subtracted.
- **Backup heat.** For the standard ducted path, any backup heat must be electric with a thermostat lockout set to 35°F or lower. Extended capacity systems cannot have a backup gas heating system. This ties directly to [heat pump backup heat](/guides/heat-pump-backup-heat-guide).

## ODOE HP3: money that may already be spoken for

The Oregon Department of Energy's Heat Pump Purchase Program pays up to $2,000 per residence, paid to an approved contractor who takes it off the price. On the page's table, updated October 1, 2026, rental properties and new construction still had funds, and owner-occupied homes did not: "Round 1 and Round 2 funding is fully reserved." Once a category is claimed, later applications in it are denied.

Rules that matter on a quote:

- Equipment must have an HSPF2 of 8.1 or higher and SEER2 of 16 or higher.
- Only ODOE-approved contractors can submit applications, and installation is not complete until it passes the final mechanical permit inspection.
- It cannot be stacked with federally funded programs including HOMES and HEAR. The page does not address stacking with Energy Trust's standard heat pump incentives, so ask both administrators.
- The incentive cannot push total incentives above the purchase and installation price.

A quote that includes HP3 for an owner-occupied home should come with written proof of an approved reservation, not an assumption.

## HOMES and HEAR: contractor enrollment is not a rebate

ODOE posted on September 22, 2026 that contractor enrollment opens October 12, 2026, while homeowner applications for single-family properties open only after U.S. DOE approval to launch, with no date. Multifamily applications and retail HEAR coupons are expected in 2027. Do not accept a quote that treats these as available money. The same status issue appears in [Washington](/guides/washington-heat-pump-rebates) and [Colorado](/guides/colorado-heat-pump-rebates).

## How Energy Trust claims work

From the Energy Trust page checked October 27, 2026:

1. Use a qualifying contractor. Standard single-family incentives do not require a participating contractor, but promotions do, and the installing contractor must sign the application.
2. Submit within 60 days of installation with a paid-in-full invoice.
3. Allow six to eight weeks for processing.

Where the incentive is taken off the invoice, confirm in writing who fronts the amount if Energy Trust denies the claim.

## Climate and equipment fit

Portland's 99% heating design temperature is 29°F in the ACCA table summarized in our [design temperature guide](/guides/verify-heat-pump-output-design-temperature), far milder than the Northeast. That favors standard-efficiency inverter equipment for much of the Willamette Valley, but eastern Oregon is colder, so check your own station and see [cold-climate heat pumps](/guides/cold-climate-heat-pumps). Whatever the program, a quote needs a real load calculation: [heat pump sizing and Manual J](/guides/heat-pump-sizing-manual-j).

## What we could not verify

- A primary, current Oregon installed-cost benchmark. Cost pages found were contractor or aggregator sites, so this guide gives no Oregon price range. See [real cost of a heat pump](/guides/real-cost-of-a-heat-pump) for national scope.
- The end date of the manufactured home promotion on Energy Trust's own pages.
- Energy Trust's standard-path dates. The pages show no effective or last-updated date.
- The January 2026 Energy Trust information sheet, which could not be read (encrypted PDF).

## Quote red flags specific to Oregon

- A $4,000 or $3,500 rebate subtracted without naming the promotion, county and utility.
- HP3 assumed for an owner-occupied home despite the reserved funding.
- A federal HOMES/HEAR rebate subtracted before homeowner applications open.
- Energy Trust and HP3 both assumed, though stacking is unconfirmed.
- Backup heat that is gas, or electric without the 35°F lockout, on a path that requires otherwise.
- Equipment below the program's HSPF2 or SEER2 threshold.
- Electrical work left as TBD. See the [electrical panel upgrade guide](/guides/heat-pump-electrical-panel-upgrade-guide).

## Questions to put in writing before signing

1. Which program, home-type row and utility does each rebate line come from?
2. What is the exact model's HSPF2 and SEER2?
3. Do you hold a written HP3 reservation, and for which category?
4. What backup heat is included, and what is the lockout setting?
5. Who pays if an incentive is denied after installation?
6. Which date were these amounts confirmed?

## FAQ

### How much is the Energy Trust of Oregon heat pump rebate?

For owner-occupied single-family homes on the standard path, Energy Trust lists $1,000 for ducted and $800 for ductless as of October 27, 2026. Higher amounts apply to multi-unit homes, rentals, income-qualified households and regional or manufactured-home promotions.

### Is Oregon's HP3 heat pump program still open?

ODOE's page, updated October 1, 2026, showed owner-occupied funding fully reserved and 0 of 2,000 incentives left. Rental and new construction categories still showed funds. Check the page before relying on it.

### Are the Oregon HOMES and HEAR rebates available?

Not to homeowners as of ODOE's September 22, 2026 post. Contractor enrollment opened October 12, 2026, but applications wait on U.S. DOE approval.

### Can I stack Energy Trust and HP3?

The HP3 page excludes stacking with federal programs and names some Energy Trust new-construction programs, but does not address Energy Trust's standard heat pump incentives. Ask both administrators in writing.

### Is there a federal heat pump tax credit in Oregon in 2026?

No. The IRS says the 25C credit is not allowed for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.

## Method and update note

Figures come from Energy Trust of Oregon and Oregon Department of Energy pages fetched on 2026-10-27. Energy Trust pages carry no effective date. Programs change without notice, so confirm the live amount before treating any quote line as final.
