Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling and are a perfect way to stay comfortable year round. They are the most energy-efficient alternative to air conditioners and furnaces and, best of all, they help create a sustainable, clean energy future.
Year-round offers and incentives:
Get up to $1,800 in cash incentives for a ductless heat pump or up to $3,000 for a ducted heat pump. Energy Trust of Oregon incentives may be combined with limited-time offers on qualifying purchases.
Heat pumps work by moving heat where you want it – outside in the summer and inside in the winter. Because they move heat rather than generate it, heat pumps require much less energy to keep temperatures comfortable.
