Energy Tax Credit

You can get a credit on your Oregon income taxes for purchasing premium efficiency water heaters. Eligible models are included on the Oregon Department of Energy list of qualifying systems (See qualifying appliance lists). We update these lists as qualifying equipment comes on the market. 

The tax credit is based on the amount of energy saved above standard models. The tax credit is the amount noted on the list of qualifying equipment or 25 percent of the net purchase price of the equipment (not including labor), whichever is less
