Bay Area programs

Available Heat Pump Rebate Programs

Several regional, utility, and municipal programs may provide incentives for qualifying heat-pump installations. Availability, funding, equipment requirements, income requirements, and project eligibility can change.

Last reviewed: November 10, 2026

• Statewide

  California Home Electrification Rebates (HEEHRA) & TECH Clean California

  Single-family HEEHRA rebates were fully reserved statewide as of February 24, 2026, and the administrator is no longer accepting new income verifications. Later requests go on a waitlist and only qualify if the heat pump is installed after the reservation is approved. We could not confirm that other TECH Clean California single-family heat pump incentives are currently open. Check availability before planning around either program.

  Not currently something to budget around. Installing before a reservation is issued makes a project ineligible.

• Marin & Contra Costa County

  MCE Heat Pump Rebates

  MCE customers may qualify for a heat pump heating and cooling rebate of up to $400 per 500 square feet of home. The work must go through a participating contractor, and rebates cannot be applied to a project retroactively, so equipment must not be installed before the rebate is submitted. MCE lists no deadline. Subject to current program eligibility and funding.

  May apply to qualifying heat-pump HVAC replacements for MCE customers.

• City of Piedmont

  City of Piedmont Electrification Rebates

  Piedmont heat pump heating and cooling rebates are now limited to moderate- and low-income households (moderate means 120% of Alameda County median income or less). Amounts are $1,500 (moderate) or $3,000 (low) for a ducted system or ductless with 3 or more indoor units, and $750 or $1,500 for ductless with 1 or 2 indoor units. A multi- or variable-speed compressor is required and the old gas or other fuel heating must be replaced. Heat pump water heater rebates are separate. First come, first served, and funding is not guaranteed.

• City of Pinole

  Pinole Heat Pump Permit Fee Rebate

  For a limited time, Pinole property owners with 1 to 4 units may receive a rebate equal to 100% of paid building permit fees when replacing gas space heating or a gas water heater with a heat pump. The rebate is paid after the permit is finaled. First come, first served and subject to funding; the City may change or end it at any time. This is a permit fee rebate, not an equipment rebate.

  May apply to permit fees on a qualifying gas-to-heat-pump replacement in Pinole.

Important Rebate Notice

Rebate programs, incentive amounts, eligibility rules, approved equipment lists, and available funding can change without notice. Final eligibility is determined by the applicable program administrator, utility, municipality, or other issuing organization.

3rdGen can help identify programs that appear relevant to your project, but incentives should not be considered guaranteed until eligibility has been confirmed. If an incentive matters to your project budget, tell us early so it can be considered during equipment selection and project planning.
