Receive an Energy Efficient Water Heater

Income-qualified homeowners and renters in Hillsboro may be eligible to receive a new energy efficient water heater through the City's Energy Efficiency Grant Program.

Households can reduce water heating energy use and cost by as much as 80% by replacing an old, inefficient water heater with a new high-efficiency heat pump model.

Find out if your household is eligible and contact our partners at Community Action to request a new heat pump water heater. See additional details below.
