Pilot Program Runs Now through May 7, 2026

We have launched a pilot Home Energy Score program to help residents find and prioritize opportunities to save money on their energy bills. During the program, Ashland Electric customers will be eligible to receive a free Home Energy Score for their homes. Getting a Home Energy Score is a simple way to better understand how your home uses energy so you can make informed decisions that help you lower energy costs and improve efficiency and comfort in your home. Free scores will be available through May 2026. Contact a certified assessor to get the process started today. 

The Ashland pilot program is the first Oregon Home Energy Score to incorporate carbon emissions and emissions reductions into customized home energy upgrade recommendations. Our first home score in this pilot helps demonstrate how Ashland’s clean electricity helps this home produce 10 times fewer emissions than an average U.S. home. Furthermore, by implementing the suggested improvements - going to a 100% electric heat pump space and hot water heating along with some weatherization upgrades - this house could emit 37.5 times fewer emissions than an average U.S. home! 

How it Works: An assessor will come to your home to evaluate its energy systems and structure and provide you with your score report. The report includes:

• Your home’s current score, along with estimated energy costs and emissions.
• A list of recommendations for improvements you can make to increase your score in the future, which will help you save money on your utility bills. 
• Information about locally available incentives that can help make the cost of improvements or upgrades recommended in your Home Energy Score report more affordable. View available incentives. 

Eligibility: All single-family homes, including side-by-side townhomes, are eligible to receive a Home Energy Score. Stacked duplexes, triplexes and smaller multi-unit homes are eligible if the property owner and residents grant permission for the entire structure to be scored. Alternative assessment methods may be available for multifamily buildings.
