RPU: Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate
Save money when upgrading to an energy-efficient water heater with a rebate from Riverside Public Utilities.
Rebate Overview
Overview
Riverside Public Utilities offers a $200 rebate for homeowners who install an Energy Star-rated heat pump water heater. This incentive helps you save on energy bills while upgrading to a more efficient system. To qualify, ensure your new water heater meets Energy Star standards and is installed at your primary residence. Remember, rebates must be submitted within 90 days of purchase, accompanied by a copy of the dated sales receipt. The rebate amount cannot exceed the purchase price of the new product. For rebates under $500, a credit will be applied to your bill; for rebates over $500, a check will be mailed to your address. Your account must be in good standing for a rebate check to be processed. If your account is past due, only a credit for the rebate amount will be applied to your account. Incentives are paid for installations on the existing building envelope; new construction does not qualify. All Riverside Public Utilities rebates are subject to inspection to verify installation and product specifications. If it is determined through inspection that you are not in compliance with the requirements of the program, Riverside Public Utilities may recover the total amount of the incentive or rate reduction paid to you for non-compliance. For assistance with these programs, call our account management team at 951-826-5485 or email us.

Benefits
Upgrading to a heat pump water heater not only reduces your energy consumption but also lowers your utility bills. These systems are more efficient than traditional water heaters, providing reliable hot water while being environmentally friendly. By making this switch, you contribute to a cleaner environment and enjoy the comfort of consistent hot water in your home. Additionally, the rebate helps offset the initial cost of the upgrade, making it more accessible for homeowners.
