July 2025 Update: The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law on July 4, 2025, resulting in tax credits phasing out early, as follows: 

  • Electric Vehicle Tax Credits expire on September 30, 2025. EVs must be purchased by that date to qualify.

What you should know before applying for rebates:

  • Rebates often require reservations and permits – Most rebate programs require you to reserve your rebate before you make your appliance upgrade. In addition, most programs also require you to apply for the requisite permits from the city or county in which you live and to provide proof of permit application to claim the rebate.
  • Combined rebates and tax credits cannot exceed total project costs – Your rebate amount will be adjusted if your project cost is less than the rebate.
  • Be sure your project meets all requirements to be eligible for all programs – Rebate programs may have different rules, including the ability to stack with other programs, equipment eligibility, contractor requirements, and rebate applications.
  • Confirm rebate amounts and availability with the appropriate program administrator – The information in the image and table below reflects rebate programs as of the date listed above the table and may not be fully exhaustive. Rebate amounts and availability are subject to change at any time by the program administrator.

FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Which rebates can I stack?

Generally, rebates are stackable as long as they come from separate funding sources. The following programs do not stack for the same technology, meaning you must select between either program:

  • Golden State Rebates and California Energy Smart Homes cannot be stacked together
  • IRA HEEHRA and IRA HOMES cannot be stacked together

Please consult with the program administrator for additional rules and eligibility.

How can the Inflation Reduction Act help me go all-electric at home and on the road?

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a federal bill that includes $370 billion in clean energy initiatives, including tax credits for electric vehicles and renewable energy sources. Part of this funding is going directly to help residents go all-electric at home and on the road.

The IRA includes both federal tax credits and state-administered rebates for efficient electric appliance upgrades (HEEHRA and HOMES).

  • Federal Tax Credits for Home Improvement have criteria and annual limits for certain technology. Use the U.S. Department of Energy’s Tax Credit Product Lookup Tool to confirm that your appliance meets the tax credit criteria.
  • The HEEHRA Rebate program (now available) provides point-of-sale rebates to help low-income and moderate-income households (up to 150% of area median income) go electric. Rebate amounts depend on income levels and technology.
  • The HOMES Rebate Program (coming soon) is focused on energy efficiency, with rebates ranging from $2,000 to $4,000 in total. Rebate amounts will vary for individual households based on income level and the amount of energy usage reduced with the home upgrades.

It is important to note that the HEEHRA and HOMES rebate programs cannot be stacked together. For households who qualify for both, the HEEHRA rebates will generally be more financially beneficial.

The IRA also includes federal tax credits for new and used electric vehicles. Search for eligible vehicles using the U.S. Department of Energy’s tool.

June 2025 Update: Federal tax credits for clean energy upgrades may expire at the end of 2025 (federal policy changes are being debated now in the Senate; we will do our best to keep our customers informed of final decisions). Despite the potential changes to federal tax credits, SVCE rebates and services will remain available and can be combined with other incentives. 

Why are some Inflation Reduction Act rebates not available right now?

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is a 10-year plan, and the rebate programs and tax credits are scheduled to roll out throughout the upcoming years. As noted above, some IRA rebates are available now, with many more coming soon. You can also check the California Energy Commission, the state administrator for IRA rebates, for more information.

Will federal policy changes affect the Inflation Reduction Act, specifically the rebates for heat pumps, solar and battery tax credits, EVs, etc.?

Federal policy discussions may lead to thousands of dollars in federal tax credits for clean energy upgrades to sunset at the end of 2025. This could include tax credits for heat pumps, energy efficiency, EVs, and solar and battery. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act has been passed by the House of Representatives but is still being debated in the Senate, which may make further changes to the proposal.  

Despite potential changes to the federal tax credits, SVCE rebates and services will remain available and can be combined with other incentives. SVCE’s reserves and finances remain strong, and the SVCE Board is committed to providing robust programs for our customers, including whole-home electrification support, multi-family EV charging, and income-qualified EV rebates. 

When would the potential sunset of federal tax credits for heat pumps, EVs, solar and battery take effect?

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is being debated in the Senate and changes to the tax credits are still to be finalized. Currently, tax credits can be claimed for the year in which the upgrades are made. Given that tax credits may expire by the end of 2025, upgrades will need to be made before the end of the year to be eligible for tax credits. 

Do federal executive orders affect SVCE rebates and programs?

No –  SVCE program funds are not tied to federal allocations.
