Oregon Community Heat Pump Deployment Program
August 5, 2024
The Community Heat Pump Deployment Program provides financial assistance to homeowners towards the purchase and installation of heat pumps in owner-occupied residences. Through two rounds of opportunity announcements, ODOE has selected eligible entities to serve as regional administrators in the 11 regions throughout the state. The regions are the economic development districts in Oregon, designated by the Economic Development Administration of the United States Department of Commerce, for which a regional solutions center has been established under ORS 284.754. Administrators for six of the regions were identified and awarded in mid-2023. As of July 2024, administrators for four additional regions have been identified and are working to establish programs and an administrator for the North Coast region is under review. Two of the nine federally recognized Indian tribes in Oregon have elected to pursue funding through CHPDP.
The incentive amounts available are:
- Up to $5,000 for the purchase and installation of a heat pump that meets minimum efficiency requirements
- Up to $7,000 for the purchase and installation of a heat pump that meets higher efficiency requirements
Note: Efficiency requirement technical specifications may be found in the program rules, Sections 330-270-0040 (6) and (8).
A grant of up to $4,000 may also be available for eligible upgrades such as a new electrical panel or weatherization or structural repairs that reduce heat and cooling loss. The incentive and grant amounts may not exceed 100% of the cost of purchase and installation of a heat pump or eligible upgrades.
