Oregon Rebates
Oregon HVAC Rebates and Incentives for New Installations
Attention Oregon Homeowners!
Upgrading your HVAC system or improving your home’s energy efficiency is now more affordable, thanks to the Homeowner Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) Program and the Homeowners Manage Energy Savings (HOMES) Program.
These programs are designed to help Oregon homeowners lower their energy bills while making their homes more eco-friendly. They offer significant savings on heat pumps, central air conditioners, furnaces, water heaters, insulation, and other energy-efficient upgrades.
At Sun Glow Inc., we’re here to help you navigate these rebates so you can make informed decisions about upgrading your HVAC system and improving your home’s efficiency. Contact us today at 971-328-4862 to learn how you can maximize your savings!

When Will the HEAR/HOMES Rebate Programs Be Available in Oregon?
The U.S. Department of Energy released full program guidance for the HOMES and HEAR rebate programs on July 27, 2023, with a state application deadline of January 31, 2025. ODOE submitted its applications on March 27, 2024, and received approval and funding for both programs in September 2024.
Now that funding has been awarded, ODOE is finalizing the program design and developing the necessary materials and guidance for a smooth rollout. At this stage, rebates are not expected to be available before late 2025 or early 2026. Stay updated by visiting the program website.
What If I Install a Home Efficiency Upgrade Before the HEAR/HOMES Programs Launch?
According to the Department of Energy, HEAR rebates are not retroactive; they will not be available for installations completed before the program officially launches.
For the HOMES program, rebates may be available retroactively for projects completed after August 16, 2022 (when the Inflation Reduction Act was passed) and before the program begins.
