Upgrade Your Home with Rebates and Tax Credit Savings
Sacramento homeowners and residents in surrounding cities like Roseville, Folsom, and Placer County have access to exclusive rebates, tax credits, and incentive programs to make home upgrades more affordable. Whether you’re replacing your HVAC system, installing a heat pump water heater, or upgrading insulation, there are utility, state, and federal programs designed to help you save.
SMUD Heating & Cooling Rebates
- Heating & Cooling System Replacement: Rebates Up to $2,500
Heating and cooling account for up to 40% of a home’s energy usage. Upgrading to a high-efficiency HVAC system that meets SMUD’s standards will improve comfort and reduce energy costs, qualifying you for rebates up to $2,500.
- Seal & Insulate: Rebates Up to $3,000
