Bay Area Air District: Clean HEET Rebate (Woodstoves to Mini-Split Heat Pumps)
Rebate Overview
Overview
The Bay Area Air District's Clean HEET Rebate program offers homeowners rebates ranging from $3,000 to $9,500 to replace wood-burning devices with electric heat pumps. The exact amount depends on the type and age of your existing equipment. Additionally, a decommission-only option of $1,000 is available to remove one older, uncertified wood stove or open-hearth fireplace, with an extra $1,000 for a second device.
This rebate only applies to replacing existing wood appliances.
Benefits
Upgrading to an electric heat pump can make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient. By replacing older wood-burning devices, you help improve air quality and contribute to a healthier environment.
