BIG SAVINGS ON DUCTLESS HEAT PUMPS
Photo of ductless heat pumpDuctless heat pumps are energy efficient systems that provide winter heating and summer cooling. 
 
Ductless systems are commonly used to replace or supplement baseboards, wall heaters, ceiling cables or electric furnaces, and are a great choice for additions where ductwork can't be extended.  The average single-head system costs $3,000 - $5,000.
 
Rebates & tax credits of up to $3,400 are available now through September. We're offering a $1,500 rebate for ductless systems installed in qualified homes. You may also qualify for state tax credits up to $400 and federal tax credits up to $1,500.

REBATES FOR ENERGY STAR APPLIANCES

Energy Efficient Clothes WasherIf you need a new appliance, make sure to buy an ENERGY STAR model.  ENERGY STAR qualified appliances incorporate advanced technologies that use 10-50% less energy and water than standard models. The money you save on your utility bills can more than make up for the cost of a more expensive but more efficient ENERGY STAR model.
 
We offer rebates for ENERGY STAR qualified clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers. 
  • Clothes washer with electric water heater - $75
  • Clothes washer with other type of water heater - $25
  • Dishwasher - $25
  • Refrigerator - $25
  • Freezer - $25
Oregon tax credits of $60 - $180 are also available.

PLEASE DON'T HANG THINGS ON OUR POLES
Photo of linemen climbing poleWe know it's tempting to hang signs, basketball hoops or other items on utility poles, but please don't do it. 
 
Pole attachments are a safety hazard for our employees, can damage poles and cause fines for the PUD.
 
Thanks for helping maintain a safe, reliable electric system.
