The Energy Trust of Oregon is a non-profit organization paid for by small fees paid by all ratepayers to PGE, Cascade Natural Gas, Pacific Power and Northwest Natural Gas. They are offering FREE one-hour energy audits, replacement of your lightbulbs with energy-efficient bulbs, and aerators for your showerhead and sinks. The lightbulbs and aerators will save on electricity and water use, and energy professionals will assess what measures you can take to save yourself money and energy.
The Energy Trust also offers cash incentives for switching to energy-efficient water heaters, windows, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, and heating and cooling systems. They will also recycle your old refrigerators and freezers and pay YOU $30 to take them away!
The Energy Trust can also provide you with a list of certified contractors who can do the energy updates needed to better weatherize your home.
