Your application paperwork
PG&E supports the Golden State Rebates program, which gives a residential instant rebate (up to 700 dollars) toward a qualifying heat pump (electric) water heater. There is no numbered paper form; you confirm eligibility and request a retail coupon online (or buy through a participating distributor), then redeem it at purchase, so the savings come off the price instead of arriving as a mailed check.
Steps to apply
- Confirm your home has an active PG&E residential electric account and pick a heat pump water heater that is on the Golden State Rebates Qualified Products list.
- Go to the official Golden State Rebates heat pump water heater page and choose Get retail coupon (or plan to buy from a participating distributor).
- Verify your eligibility, create an account with your PG&E service address, and add the coupon for your selected product and retailer to your cart.
- Receive the coupon by email and redeem it when you buy the water heater at the chosen retailer so the rebate comes off the price.
- Install the unit within 60 days of purchase and keep it installed (program terms require it to stay in place for at least 5 years); save your receipt in case of an audit.
Documents you will likely need
- Active PG&E residential electric account at the installation address
- Make and model of a heat pump water heater on the Golden State Rebates Qualified Products list
- Itemized proof of purchase or paid invoice for the water heater
- Installation address served by PG&E
- Date of purchase and installation (unit must be installed within 60 days of purchase)
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
