People searching for a heat pump rebate program from PG&E in California will not find one on PG&E's rebate page. DuloCore checked on October 13, 2026.
Does PG&E Have a Heat Pump Rebate Program in 2026?
Not on its rebates page. On October 13, 2026, PG&E's Rebates & Incentives page listed a $300 generator and battery rebate and two electric vehicle rebates. It listed no rebate for a heat pump heating and cooling system.
PG&E's Rebates & Incentives page names a $300 rebate for a portable backup power system, up to $4,000 back on a used electric vehicle, and up to $5,000 toward home charging equipment for income-eligible households. The words heat pump do not appear on that page.
What Does PG&E Say About Heat Pump Heating and Cooling?
PG&E's Building Electrification page gives cost and savings estimates and names low or no cost upgrade programs for eligible customers. It states no rebate amount.
PG&E's Building Electrification page estimates that switching from gas to a highly efficient heat pump saves about $596 per year on average, roughly 14% of energy bills. It puts the cost at $3,500 to $25,000, depending on home size and system type.
It says eligible customers can get heating and cooling systems at low or no cost through four programs:
- Electrify My Block, for select neighborhoods in Contra Costa County.
- Powerful Neighborhoods, in parts of Alameda, Butte, Fresno, Kern, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Yolo Counties.
- Empower My Home, in parts of Fresno, Bakersfield, Stockton, Oakland, San Francisco and Santa Clara Counties.
- The Alternative Energy Program, by invitation only.
PG&E's income-qualified Energy Savings Assistance page names heat pump water heaters, furnaces, lighting and refrigerators, but no heat pump heating and cooling system.
Which Local Electricity Agencies in PG&E Territory Pay a Heat Pump Rebate?
Three agencies DuloCore checked stated a heat pump heating and cooling amount on October 13, 2026: Silicon Valley Clean Energy, MCE and Sonoma Clean Power.
| Agency | What its official page states (October 13, 2026) | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Silicon Valley Clean Energy | Base rebate, replacing a gas furnace | Up to $2,000 |
| Silicon Valley Clean Energy | Base rebate, replacing an electric resistance heater | Up to $500 |
| MCE | Rebate through a participating contractor | Up to $400 per 500 square feet |
| Sonoma Clean Power | Qualifying heat pump | $1,000 |
| Sonoma Clean Power, customers enrolled in CARE or FERA | Heating and cooling rebates | Up to $10,000 |
Silicon Valley Clean Energy's home rebates page says to apply before the appliance is installed and that rebates cannot exceed project costs. Customers in Los Altos, Milpitas, Mountain View and Sunnyvale find their amounts on its City Rebates tab. The page's two table copies differ on the income-qualified amount, so only base amounts are shown.
MCE's heat pump rebates page limits the rebate to customers who have owned and lived in a single-family detached home for at least 12 months. Its example is up to $1,200 for a 1,500 square foot home. MCE's programs overview page states a larger figure, $2,000 plus $400 per 500 square feet, so confirm with MCE.
The Sonoma Clean Power figures are on its Go Electric rebates page. For water heaters, see DuloCore's page on water heater rebates in PG&E territory.
Are the Statewide TECH Clean California and HEEHRA Heat Pump Rebates Fully Reserved?
Yes. TECH Clean California single-family heat pump incentives are fully reserved, and HEEHRA single-family rebates are fully reserved statewide as of February 24, 2026.
- TECH Clean California single-family (fully reserved). Its incentives page says that as of November 14, 2025, single-family heat pump HVAC incentives are fully reserved and not accepting new reservations.
- HEEHRA single-family (fully reserved). The California Energy Commission's rebate programs page says that as of February 24, 2026, single-family rebates are fully reserved statewide, unapproved reservation requests are on a waitlist and no new income verification requests are accepted.
TECH Clean California's page also says multifamily HEEHRA rebates are fully reserved statewide as of September 1, 2026, although the Energy Commission's page still says multifamily rebates are available.
What Does BayREN Offer for a Heat Pump?
The two BayREN pages checked state no BayREN heat pump rebate. EASE Home subsidizes weatherization, and customers may pay for heat pump equipment in full.
BayREN's EASE Home page says the program covers 80% of the cost of weatherization for PG&E customers in single-family homes built before 2010 with household income at or under 120% of area median income. Its contractors can install heat pump HVAC, but the customer may have to pay for that equipment in full.
BayREN's programs and rebates list says California Energy-Smart Homes, which PG&E's electrification page also names, is fully subscribed for 2026 as of April 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for a heat pump rebate as a PG&E customer, and how do I apply?
Each agency in the table sets its own rules. MCE's page says its participating contractor handles the rebate application. The eligibility check asks for a ZIP code and a few answers and returns an estimate, not a guarantee of approval.
Does PG&E have a rate plan for a home with a heat pump?
Yes. PG&E's Electric Home rate plan (E-ELEC) page says the plan suits homes with an electric vehicle, battery storage, or an electric heat pump for water heating or climate control. The home does not need to be all-electric. The page gives no savings figure and says the plan is not available to some customers.
Can I finance a heat pump with GoGreen Home?
The State Treasurer's GoGreen Home page says homeowners and renters can use the program's loans for heat pump HVAC systems where PG&E provides energy.
