California lists heat pump rebates

California still lists heat-pump rebates, but the biggest statewide programs for single-family homes are effectively tapped out. (energy.ca.gov) (techcleanca.com) The California Energy Commission says that, as of February 24, 2026, Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates for single-family retrofits are fully reserved statewide. New income-verification requests are not being accepted, and unapproved reservations have been moved to a waitlist. (energy.ca.gov) (techcleanca.com) That is a change from October 15, 2025, when California reopened HEEHRA Phase I single-family rebates with up to $8,000 for income-qualified homeowners installing heat-pump heating and cooling systems. Those reopened funds required an approved reservation and installations by December 31, 2025. (efiling.energy.ca.gov) TECH Clean California, the other big statewide channel for residential heat-pump incentives, is also no longer taking new single-family reservations. Its public budget page says single-family heat-pump water heater and heat-pump heating, ventilation, and air conditioning incentives were fully reserved on November 14, 2025. (techcleanca.com) For homeowners, that means the phrase “California heat pump rebates” now covers a patchwork, not one open statewide pot of money. The California Energy Commission says the only federal Inflation Reduction Act electrification rebates currently available in California are HEEHRA rebates delivered through specially trained TECH Clean California contractors. (energy.ca.gov) Some utility-linked offers still exist. Southern California Edison says single-family customers can get $1,000 for a new heat-pump heating and cooling system, with up to two systems per home, while funding lasts. (sce.com) Southern California Edison also says heat-pump water-heater incentives run from $1,000 for replacing electric-resistance equipment to as much as $3,100 for replacing a gas water heater. The utility says those incentives can be layered with the federal 25C tax credit, subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. (sce.com) The clearest statewide rebate still showing broad availability is on the multifamily side. California’s Switch Is On marketplace lists HEEHRA multifamily rebates of $7,500 for two-stage systems and $8,000 for variable-speed systems at income-qualified properties. (switchison.org) Those multifamily rebates come with tight rules: the property must be in California, the equipment must be Energy Star-certified, the project must be a retrofit, and the contractor must be TECH-enrolled and HEEHRA-trained. Moderate-income projects also must be in a Senate Bill 535 disadvantaged community. (switchison.org) California’s broader policy target has not changed. TECH Clean California says the state initiative is meant to help put six million heat pumps in California homes by 2030 and support a path to carbon-free homes by 2045. (techcleanca.com) So the practical advice for 2026 is narrower than many rebate roundups suggest: check whether a program is still reserving funds, confirm the contractor is on the approved list, and treat older “up to $8,000” claims as potentially expired for single-family homes.
