SMUD Go Electric rebates

Rebates up to $5,500

Our Go Electric rebates help you make your house electric ready. Install a smart panel, replace an electrical panel, install a subpanel, or wire your house for electric appliances. 

For residential electrical panel projects that do NOT increase panel size:

  • Smart panel installation: $2,000 rebate 
  • Like-for-like meter panel replacement with smart panel installation: $2,500 rebate

A Smart Panel is an upgraded electrical panel that help manage loads to support future electrification without upgrading a home’s service amperage. Homeowners install one to enable whole home electrification without upgrading the meter panel.

If also completing a heat pump conversion, you can mix and match the following rebates as needed:

  • Like-for-like meter panel replacement: $1,500  
  • Sub-panel installation: $500 rebate  
  • Add new range circuit: $500 rebate
  • Add new cooktop circuit: $500 rebate
  • Add new dryer circuit: $500 rebate

Important Requirements:

  • Smart panel rebate eligibility is limited to premises where service amperage is 200 amps or less and where, if the meter panel has been or will be replaced, the service amperage was not increased to 200 amps.  
  • Like-for-like panel replacement means panel amperage stays the same size pre- and post-replacement. For example, if your original meter panel is 100 amps, and you are replacing the meter panel, in order to qualify for rebate, the replacement must also be 100 amps. Projects that increase the size of the meter panel (e.g., upgrading from a 100-amp to a 125-amp or 125-amp to 200-amp panel) do not qualify for any rebate requiring like-for-like meter panel replacement. 
  • Like-for-like meter panel replacement must replace an unsafe panel to qualify.
  • For rebates requiring completion of a heat pump conversion, customer must replace an existing gas furnace or gas water heater to a qualifying heat pump.
  • $500 paid for each eligible subpanel or circuit, up to a total of $2,000.
    • All circuits must be wired to the source (wire and breaker)
    • Eligible circuits include: dryer and kitchen (cooktop and/or range) 
    • Install a subpanel if more panel space is needed to electrify the home.
  • Must use a participating contractor in the SMUD Contractor Network to submit rebates.
