What to know about the Oregon numbers

  • Rebates not checked yet. We haven't checked heat pump rebates in Oregon yet, so the numbers here leave them out. Utility and state programs can take thousands off a heat pump, so ask your utility and your contractor what's available.
  • Some average prices. 52% of Oregon ZIP codes here are priced on a current utility tariff; the rest use the utility's average price from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (about two years old). Each utility page says which.
  • Regional fuel prices. EIA doesn't publish a Oregon price for every fuel: propane uses the national average and heating oil uses the national average. Enter your own price if you heat with it.
