City of Piedmont: Central Heat Pump Rebate (Low-Income Bonus)
Rebate Overview
Overview
The City of Piedmont offers a $1,500 rebate for homeowners replacing existing fossil fuel heating systems with central air source heat pumps. Low-income residents can receive double the standard rebate amount. To qualify, applicants must provide proof of income eligibility, such as a copy of their utility bill showing participation in the CARE or FERA discounted rate programs, verification that the unit is deed-restricted affordable housing, or a copy of their tax returns.
Benefits
Upgrading to a central air source heat pump can make your home more comfortable by providing efficient heating and cooling. This improvement can also increase your home's value and reduce your energy bills. Additionally, using electric heat pumps instead of fossil fuel systems helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a healthier environment.
