Oregon Department of Energy
The Oregon Residential Energy Tax Credit Program provides a tax credit for clothes washers,
dishwashers and refrigerator-freezers certified energy-efficient by the Oregon Department of
Energy. The appliance must be purchased new and located in an Oregon dwelling that is your
primary or secondary (vacation) residence. Motor homes or recreational vehicles do not qualify
as dwellings.
Eligibility requirements for each appliance type are shown on our Web site. These may be
different than utility rebate programs. As a convenience we provide lists of eligible appliances
by manufacturer and model. These lists are available from your appliance dealer or from the
Oregon Department of Energy. Visit our Web site or call us at the number below. New models
which meet requirements will be approved even if they do not yet appear on our lists.
To qualify for a tax credit, you must have an Oregon income tax
liability. If you are an Oregon resident and do not have an Oregon
income tax liability, you may choose to transfer your tax credit to
an Oregon resident who does. See the next page for information
about tax credit eligibility.
Don't wait to apply for the tax credit as processing may take several weeks. You’ll receive a
Certification card that you will need when you file your tax return.
Take the following steps to receive your tax credit:
Verify that the appliance you are buying is eligible for a tax credit and determine the tax
credit amount. Look up the appliance you intend to buy by manufacturer and model number on
the Oregon Department of Energy list of qualifying appliances. The tax credit you may claim is
the lesser of the amount shown on our list or
