Note: The Federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) Program. The IRA established the main parameters for this program, but allowed the states to customize the program to meet their state-specific needs. The program is designed to award rebates for purchase of qualifying home electrification equipment and appliances. Residents earning less than 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) can receive the full rebate amount, and residents earning between 80% and 150% AMI can receive a partial rebate. See summary below and program website for complete details.
As of May 7, 2025, rebate reservations are open in Central and Southern California for income-qualified, single family heat pump HVAC projects. Funding is fully reserved for Northern California single family rebates.
Incentives are available to owners of multifamily properties in California which include five or more residential units and are populated by income-qualified residents. Incentives are also available to governmental, commercial, or nonprofit organizations carrying out a project for an owner of an eligible multifamily property.
Eligible equipment includes Energy Star certified:
- Heat pumps for air heating and cooling
- Heat pump water heaters
- Electric stoves, cooktops, ranges, or ovens
- Heat pump clothes dryers
- Electrical panel upgrades and wiring
