Santa Barbara Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate (Low-Income Bonus)
Rebate Overview
Overview
The Santa Barbara Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate (Low-Income Bonus) is a rebate program offered by Santa Barbara Clean Energy. If you participate in CARE/FERA or can show a qualifying income level, you can save an additional $1,000 off your heat pump water heater! This means you could save up to $3,500 when replacing your gas water heater with a heat pump water heater.
Benefits
Upgrading to a heat pump water heater can make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient. It also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment.
