Residential Energy Programs

Conservation is more important than ever nowadays. Find out about our many energy-saving programs and promotion to help make your home energy efficient.

Energy Star Homes
Energy Star is a national symbol for energy efficiency and what Oregon consumers look for when buying appliances, heating or air conditioning equipment, or lighting products for their home. That same symbol will now allow homebuyers and builders to easily identify energy-efficient homes built to the Energy Star Homes Northwest Certification Requirements. EPUD's staff will certify the homes and the Oregon Department of Energy will issue a certificate of compliance after their quality assurance site visit. Homes built to the Energy Star Homes Northwest requirements will be at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to the Oregon state energy code by incorporating construction practices and high-efficiency equipment specified by the Energy Star Homes Northwest certification requirement. These homes will have Energy Star dishwashers and 50% of all lighting fixtures or sockets must use Energy Star equipment. Incentives of up to $2000 are available under this program. For more information, contact Tom at 744-7453.

Heat Pump CheckMe! Program
CheckMe! is a system designed to address problems with heat pump and central air conditioning inefficiencies. It can best be described as a "tune-up" for your heating and air conditioning system: a tune-up that relies on specially-trained technicians, modern diagnostic equipment and a computer data bank of information on each heat pump/air conditioner brand available. CheckMe!, developed by the Proctor Engineering Group, is recognized region-wide as an effective way to improve heating systems and also qualifies for a tax credit through the Oregon Office of Energy. The CheckMe! program is available for both existing and new systems (new heat pumps must be Energy Star rated). For more information, email us or call us at 746-1583.
