Heat pump incentives in California

No statewide rebate program

verified 2026-07

Incentives run through your utility

No live statewide heat-pump program accepting new single-family reservations: TECH Clean California single-family heat-pump HVAC reservations are FULLY RESERVED / closed to new applicants since 11/14/2025 (state GGRF funded, invoice-applied midstream when open; market rate was $1,000-$1,500, equity $3,500-$4,000). The federal HEEHRA stack is dead. Live money is now utility/muni-specific: SMUD (Sacramento) is boosted and active. PG&E, SCE and SDG&E heat-pump rebates ran through TECH, so confirm any current utility-specific offer. Check BayREN Home+ and Golden State Rebates (distributor midstream) in applicable territories.

Utilities in California with nothing to claim

We check these and they pay nothing toward a heat pump today. They are listed rather than dropped, because if you are here looking for one of these names then this is your answer, and an empty page would read as an oversight instead of a result.

Golden State Rebates (statewide midstream)

Program ended

The statewide Golden State Rebates midstream coupon program ended on 31 July 2026, with its last reservation on 23 July. It also never covered space-heating heat pumps: it discounted heat pump water heaters, high-efficiency AC and smart thermostats at the distributor. Nothing here to claim on a heat pump, then or now.
