Electrical Rebates: What You May Qualify For
Rebates are usually tied to a qualifying heat pump or electrification project, not a standalone panel upgrade. Here is how it actually works.

How Rebates Work
Electrical rebates in California typically come from three places: state and federal programs, local utility programs, and manufacturer promotions. Most electrical panel rebates are not standalone. They show up as an add-on when a panel upgrade is required to support a separate qualifying project, most often a heat pump or heat pump water heater installation. We will help you check eligibility honestly, not promise a number before we know your situation.
State, Federal, Local Utility & Manufacturer Programs
Depending on where you live, local utility programs, such as those run by Peninsula Clean Energy, San Jose Clean Energy, Silicon Valley Clean Energy, Silicon Valley Power, and Palo Alto Utilities, may offer rebates in the roughly $500 to $1,500 range toward a qualifying electrical panel upgrade, always tied to an electrification project. Some state and federal programs exist too, but funding status changes often; we confirm current availability before quoting anything. This is the most common point of confusion, so we lead with it honestly: a panel upgrade by itself usually does not qualify for a rebate. It qualifies when it is required to support a heat pump, heat pump water heater, or similar electrification project. If you are only planning a panel upgrade with no HVAC project attached, financing (not a rebate) is the more realistic path.
Our Process
We never promise a specific dollar amount before eligibility is confirmed.
1
Check Eligibility
We check your project against current utility and program requirements before promising anything.
2
Reserve Funds
Where a program requires it, we help reserve rebate funds before work begins.
3
We Do the Work
Licensed electricians complete the qualifying electrical portion of your project.
4
Documentation
We handle the paperwork for the electrical portion so nothing holds up your claim.
5
Claim & Reimbursement
We support you through the claim or reimbursement process with the program.
