Community Heat Pump Deployment Program

Funding comes from the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE). In 2022 the Oregon Legislature passed SB 1536 granting ODOE 8.5 million dollars to fund the purchase and installation of heat pumps and related upgrades.

Earth Advantage was selected by ODOE to serve as Regional Administrator for the Metro, Mid-Valley, and South Valley/Mid-Coast regions. Our role is to support installation partners and manage program logistics, including funding allocation. 

No. CHPDP supports funding for new installations only. 

No. CHPDP is intended to install heat pumps in owner-occupied single family homes only. For further details about ODOE’s Rental Home Heat Pump Program, please visit the site here.  

Please contact an installation partner in your area for more information on program eligibility and application process. 

The current participating regional administrators are found in the Community Heat Pump Deployment Program (CHPDP) information from ODOE.

Please contact an installation partner in your area for application and/or eligibility questions. Our program website will have the most up to date information with installation partner contact information.

Heat pumps are an affordable and energy efficient system that transfers heat between indoor and outdoor environments. They provide essential relief during extreme weather conditions and protect the health and wellbeing of residents. For more information on heat pump technology please refer to ODOE’s website here. 

Please contact the installation partner involved in your project with any requests or questions about your heat pump. 
 

Several factors may affect electricity bills after the installation of heat pumps, including the efficiency of the heat pump, the level of insulation in the structure, and the size of the conditioned space. Our installation partners can help you more accurately assess how installing a heat pump could impact your electricity bill.  For more information on heat pump technology please refer to ODOE’s website here. 

The average lifespan of a heat pump ranges from 10 to 15 years.  Regular maintenance can increase the lifespan of a heat pump, so please consult the installation partner involved in your project with questions about how to care for your heat pump.
