Weatherization and Window Program

CEC is pleased to offer a residential weatherization program to our members with older, electrically heated homes. This program can help owners of electrically heated homes improve efficiency, control heating costs, increase comfort levels AND receive a rebate to help offset the cost of the energy improvements.

Eligibility

Owners of site-built electrically heated homes, constructed before 1992, and all manufactured homes may be eligible. The Oregon Building Code required site-built homes built after 1992 to be weatherized at the time of construction.  If your site built home was constructed between 1992 and today, click this link for programs your home qualifies for.

How much is the financial incentive?

  • $5.00 per square foot of window area to replace single pane window with any frame type (wood, metal, vinyl, etc.) and double pane windows with metal frame.
  • $40 per pre-hung Energy Star qualified door to replace un-insulated exterior doors.
  • $0.50 per square foot of ceiling insulated.
  • $0.75 per square foot of floor insulated.
  • $1.00 per square foot of wall insulated.
  • Dollar amount varies by residence, based on $0.30 per CFM reduction for air sealing.
  • $250 for duct sealing and repair with an additional $0.60 per linear foot for duct insulation. For more information on the duct seal program and how to apply click here.

To receive the incentive for insulation and air sealing:

  • You must be a CEC member heating your home with electricity for the primary heat source.
  • You must live in a single-family home or manufactured home. If you rent your home, the homeowner must approve the request for an energy audit.
  • For insulation, site built homes must have been built before 1992 and all manufactured homes may be eligible.
  • Your home cannot have any existing floor insulation, wall insulation and no more than R-19 in the attic. Insulation replacement or repairs are not eligible for this program.
  • For air sealing, all site built and manufactured homes may be eligible.
  • Homeowner installations are eligible as long as they are installed to manufacturer’s and CEC program specifications.
  • A CEC energy specialist must perform a free virtual or on-site inspection to verify eligibility and determine the financial incentive prior to any work taking place.  After eligibility is determined, the energy specialist will outline the process.
  • If your home meets the above criteria, and you are ready to sign up for a free virtual or on-site inspection or you are ready to apply for incentives, sign up below (the online form will ask you questions for either scenario), or give us a call:
