Description
Heat pumps, electrical work and insulation projects are very expensive – and many families in Oregon can’t afford them, despite their potential for reducing carbon emissions, saving energy and slashing utility bills.
The federal government has promised financial help: generous rebates and tax credits to defray the costs of home energy efficiency upgrade projects for low- and moderate-income families. The tax credits are already available, while the rebates will be rolled out in Oregon by mid-2024.
But, according to the state’s Department of Energy, only about 13,000 Oregon households will qualify for those rebates. That’s less than 1 percent of Oregon’s 1.7 million households. Will your family be one of them?
