It’s time to spring forward with savings, and Central Electric Cooperative (CEC) has rebate programs to help you do just that.
Residential Programs
Weatherization
The window and weatherization program can help improve energy efficiency, control heating and cooling costs, and increase comfort levels for members with older, electrically heated homes. Options include increasing insulation levels, replacing single-pane and double-pane metal frame windows, installing Energy Star-qualified exterior doors, and air sealing.
Typically, a member’s site-built home’s construction date must be pre-1992 to qualify. Most houses built post-1992 are weatherized as required by Oregon’s building codes. Any age of manufactured home may be eligible.
Heat Pumps & Duct Sealing
CEC offers a rebate of $200 to $2,500 on a heat pump’s cost, depending on the system being installed and replaced. New and existing homes can qualify, and installation contractors must meet CEC requirements.
Members can qualify for an additional $350 to $750 duct sealing rebate if ductwork hasn’t been sealed yet.
Heat Pump Water Heater
CEC offers a $300 or $1,000 rebate for qualifying water heaters. New or replacement installations apply.
NEEM-Certified Manufactured Homes
If you bought a new Northwest Energy Efficient Manufactured Housing Program Energy Star home, you can qualify for a rebate. Depending on the efficiency level selected, CEC offers a $1,500 or $2,500 rebate.
Smart Thermostats
CEC offers a $140 rebate for upgrading to a qualified smart thermostat in your electrically heated home. For a complete list of qualifying thermostats, visit our website.
Energy Star Washers & Dryers
CEC offers a $40 or $80 rebate for replacing your washing machine and dryer with an Energy Star model. Restrictions apply, so visit our website for more details.
Income-Qualified Program
CEC believes every member and home should benefit from greater energy efficiency.
The income-qualified program can provide eligible CEC members with free to low-cost home weatherization, a high-efficiency heat pump, a heat pump water heater, and a clothes washer and dryer. The program is for renters or homeowners and covers site-built or manufactured homes.
Electric Vehicle & Charger Rebate
CEC gives a $50 rebate for each EV registered at a CEC-served location, $150 for an EV outlet, and $250 per EV charger.
Irrigation Programs
CEC offers rebates to irrigation accounts that install new pumps, retrofit pumps with variable frequency drives, and upgrade to precision sprinkler systems.
