Weatherization & Windows

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.

How Much is the Financial Incentive?

• $5 per square foot of window area to replace single pane or double pane window with any frame type (wood, metal, vinyl, etc.).
• $80 per pre-hung Energy Star qualified door to replace un-insulated exterior doors.
• $0.50 per square foot of ceiling insulated. An additional bonus incentive of $0.20 per square foot if prescriptive air sealing is done.
• $0.70 per square foot of floor insulated. An additional bonus incentive of $0.20 per square foot if prescriptive air sealing is done.
• $1 per square foot of wall insulated.
• Dollar amount varies by residence, based on $0.10 per CFM reduction for whole home air sealing.
• $0.90 per linear foot for duct insulation. Must insulate to a minimum R-11.

Insulation and Air Sealing Requirements

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. For multi-family apartment buildings please give us a call.
• For insulation, site-built homes must have been built 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.
• 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.
• Whole home air sealing is performed by a certified BPI technician with a blower door test. Prescriptive air sealing is without the technician and blower door test for the attic or crawlspace only. CEC program specifications must be followed for both types of air sealing.
• 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:

Window and Door Replacement Requirements

To receive the incentive for window and door replacement:

• You must be a CEC member heating your home with electricity for the primary heat source.

• The existing exterior door being replaced must be un-insulated.
