The State Energy-Efficient Appliance Rebate Program (SEEARP) provides low-income Oregon homeowners with rebates on energy-efficient equipment. SEEARP began in January 2010 with a 70% reimbursement (up to $2,000) on ENERGY STAR® qualified heat pumps and furnaces. It was later expanded to include ENERGY STAR qualified water heaters, refrigerators, dishwashers, and clothes washers. Oregon residents received more than 3,200 rebates. Through this statewide program, homeowners are saving every day through their energy-efficient, cost-efficient appliances. Appliances installed under this program will save Oregonians an estimated 1,140,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year -- equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of more than 70 homes.
