Program Eligibility
- Single-family and multi-family residences must have permanently installed electric heat capable of heating the entire dwelling. Your utility will pay weatherization rebates only when electric heat is the primary heat source.
- A home energy audit must be performed before you apply for a rebate. If you start weatherization work before the audit, the work will not qualify for a rebate.
- Canby Utility reserves the right to inspect completed work. Rebates will be paid only on inspected work that meets Canby Utility’s specifications (aka: Regional Technical Forum (RTF) Residential Weatherization Specifications).
