NWCPUD has expanded the ductless heat pump (DHP) rebate offering to include multi-family properties described as a building with five or more dwelling units within the same structure that are no more than three stories high.
Call a team member today for more details!
Pre-approval by an Energy Management team member prior to installation is required for all ducted and ductless heat pump upgrades and conversions to be considered for EEUP rebates. All state and local mechanical and minor label permitting requirements must be met in order to qualify for rebate disbursement.
Step 1
Contact NWCPUD’s Energy Management Team before installation for pre-approval and to review local permitting requirements. Using the chart below, confirm your existing heating system and the new system will be eligible for an EEUP rebate.
Step 2
Install pre-approved equipment at your residential property using an Oregon CCB licensed and bonded HVAC contractor. Homeowner installs are not eligible for an EEUP heat pump rebate.

Step 3
Submit the required rebate application and final contractor installation invoice to Energy Management, and then schedule an NWCPUD Rebate Inspection.
