SMUD Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate
Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD)
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs SMUD Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate in its Sacramento, CA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners and renters; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
SMUD offers rebates up to $4,000 for replacing a gas water heater with a qualifying heat pump water heater (NEEA Tier III or IV, UEF 2.87 or higher). Gas-to-electric conversions receive the highest rebates: $3,000 for 50-gallon, $3,500 for 65-gallon, and $4,000 for 80-gallon units. Electric-to-electric upgrades receive $1,000. An additional $2,000 Go Electric bonus may apply when bundled with other upgrades.
Rebate tier depends on tank size and fuel type being replaced; can stack with Go Electric bonus
Each program administrator alone decides its combination rules. The Grant Map has not verified those rules.
