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.
