Oregon has designed its "Cash for Clunkers" Appliance Rebate Program to replace and recycle approximately 1,800 non-functioning or low-efficiency furnaces and heat pumps across the state. Eligible homeowners in Oregon are those earning less than 60 percent of the state's median income levels.
This appliance program for low-income households was selected because Oregon has a Residential Energy Tax Credit incentive program for Oregonians who purchase high-efficiency appliances.
