Heat pump water heater upgrade
Due to the unforeseen and sizeable economic impacts of COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to suspend heat pump water heater rebates for the remainder of the year.
While we aren’t offering rebates, you can find a contractor to install your heat pump water heater through SMUD’s Contractor Network.
Questions? Customers, please contact Advanced Home Solutions at 916-732-5732. Contractors, please contact Efficiency First California at 916-209-5117 or contractorsupport@efficiencyfirstca.org.
When you upgrade to a heat pump water heater, you may be eligible to join our PowerMinder pilot and receive a $150 incentive plus a monthly bill credit. Learn more
