Gas furnace & water heater replacement program

If you are a homeowner and your home uses gas energy and your home is in our service area, you may be eligible for a free replacement of a gas-fueled appliance (such as a furnace/water heater, a gas fireplace, etc.). This program, in partnership with the Oregon Low Income Energy Efficiency Program (OLIEE program) through the Oregon Energy Fund, can also identify and repair points of energy inefficiency in your home, including but not limited to: sealing cracks and leaks in windows and doors, removing mold, replacing insulation, repairing roofs, and updating water heaters and heating systems.
