Receiving rebates from other programs, such as TECH, will not impact your rebate amount from SVCE. We encourage you to check out their resources.

Please note that other rebate programs may have different rules, including equipment eligibility, contractor requirements, and rebate applications, so be sure to read the fine print before starting your project.

How it Works

STEP 1: Reserve Your SVCE Rebate.

Submit a completed Rebate Application below. After submitting the Rebate Application, you will receive an email from SVCEprograms@smud.org with an approval status and if approved, your rebate will be reserved for up to 120 days.

The Rebate Application must be approved before the appliance is installed, unless you recently had an emergency replacement and were not able to apply before your appliance was upgraded. If you were not able to apply in advance, please reach out to SVCEprograms@smud.org to confirm your eligibility and/or indicate your project was part of an emergency project in the submitted application.

STEP 2: Start & Complete Your Home Upgrade.

  • Equipment: Review the SVCE Appliance Specifications to learn about the program guidelines and ensure your appliance is eligible for a rebate. Use the Appliances Assistant to shop for efficient electric equipment or visit your own retailer of choice.
  • Contractor: Check out our Find a Contractor web page to connect with local installers who have experience installing all-electric appliances. We recommend you do some research and get a few quotes. You can use any contractor of your choice and do not have to use a contractor from our list of resources in order to qualify for the SVCE rebate. DIY projects are eligible for SVCE rebates, just make sure it’s permitted.
  • Permitting: Make sure to apply for the right building permits with your city or county. Your contractor can help with the permitting process too.
  • Gas meter removal: To make modifications to your gas service, please contact PG&E at 1-877-743-7782 or file an application at www.pge.com/newconstruction 

STEP 3: Request Your SVCE Rebate.

After completing your appliance upgrade and receiving your permit approval, submit a Rebate Claim below.

You will be asked to provide photos of your newly installed equipment and proof of project costs, including itemized descriptions and costs for each wired circuit, if applicable. You may also need to submit permit document(s) and proof of gas meter removal.

STEP 4: Receive Your SVCE Rebate.

After submitting the Rebate Claim, you will receive an email notification that we have received it. We will then issue the rebate and mail it to you or to your contractor, whichever is your preference. Please note that it takes approximately four weeks for rebate checks to arrive in the mail.
