What you need to know: Eligible Californians can apply to save thousands of dollars on home energy costs through rebates now available to homeowners as part of a federal rebate program. This is the first of two federal programs rolling out in California to make efficient, comfortable, and climate-resilient homes more affordable, and to cut pollution.
SACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom announced today that qualified California homeowners can save money on energy bills and make their homes more energy efficient through new heat pump rebates.
In addition to saving money on energy bills and increasing energy efficiency, the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEEHRA) aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve indoor air quality.
Income-qualified, single-family homeowners may receive rebates of up to $8,000 to reduce the cost of purchasing and installing a new, energy-efficient home heating and cooling heat pump. Rebates for multifamily building owners for a wider array of electric appliances became available on October 8, and rebates for single family homeowners became available on November 12, 2024.

Californians can find more programs to save money and take climate action at climateaction.ca.gov.
"We’re excited to announce that owners of single-family homes may apply for HEEHRA rebates on the purchase and installation of an energy efficient heat pump HVAC,” said CEC Commissioner Andrew McAllister. “These units make homes more comfortable and can reduce electricity use by up to 75%, compared to electric resistance heating such as furnaces. They also work as air conditioners, which an increasing number of Californians now need due to the effects of climate change. HEEHRA helps put this dual-use clean technology within reach of more Californians.”
The rebates are made possible by the Biden-Harris administration''s historic Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and is managed by the California Energy Commission (CEC). The CEC is distributing the first phase of funds through TECH Clean California.
"California was an early mover in setting up and launching their Home Energy Rebates. Now, mere weeks after making the program available for multifamily buildings, they are expanding it to single-family homeowners," said Keishaa Austin, Principal Deputy Director of the U.S. Department of Energy''s Office of State and Community Energy Programs. "Starting today, thanks to the California Energy Commission''s continued commitment to the residents it serves, low- and middle-income Californian homeowners can apply to save thousands of dollars on energy-saving heat pump HVAC units."
California homeowners with household incomes between 80% and 150% area median income (AMI) will be eligible for up to $4,000. Those with incomes less than 80% AMI will be eligible for up to $8,000. Applicants can find their AMI here and begin their application here.
The rebates can be added to other incentives for even more savings on home electric appliances and equipment.

AT LEAST eighty households out of the targeted 400 in Glenview suburb, Harare have started benefiting from the Presidential solar scheme.
Under the scheme, solar panels are being laid on rooftops to generate power to be sold to the power utility, Zesa Holdings, and fed into the national grid.
Apart from renting a roof and installing the solar panels, the Government is also installing inverters into each household participating under the scheme.
In return, Zesa has agreed in principle to suspend load-shedding in the areas participating in the scheme.
The initiative involves renting and installing solar panels on the rooftops of houses starting with Glen View before being spread across the country.
The solar scheme is seen as a timely intervention in the face of rolling power cuts lasting over 12 hours because of depressed electricity generation capacity.
The project is being undertaken by the Zimbabwe Solar Energy Company (ZISEC), a subsidiary of Prevail Group International (PGI), in Ward 30, Glen View suburb.
PGI chairman Paul Tungwarara said the rolling out of the programme is underway.
"The Presidential Solar Scheme has kicked off. This project is going to be done under ZISEC which is going to be involved together with Prevail Group," Tungwarara said.
"We are generating solar from the rooftops and putting the electricity into the grid to eradicate load-shedding in the specific areas where we are installing the solar system
Standard contractual arrangements have been agreed upon that allow ZISEC to recoup its money over the life of the scheme and make a fair profit if they are efficient.
