City of Piedmont: Mini-Split Heat Pump Rebate (Low-Income Bonus)
Rebate Overview
Overview
The City of Piedmont offers a $750 rebate for homeowners replacing existing fossil fuel appliances with mini-split heat pumps. Low-income residents can receive double the standard rebate, totaling $1,500. To qualify as low-income, residents must earn below 80% of the area median income, which is $87,000 for a two-person household. Income eligibility can be verified through a copy of your 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 your tax returns. This rebate only applies to replacing existing fossil fuel appliances.
