Sonoma Clean Power: Heating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Rebate for CARE / FERA (Mini-Split)
Rebate Overview
Overview
Sonoma Clean Power offers a rebate for homeowners replacing existing fossil fuel heating and cooling systems with energy-efficient heat pump systems. This incentive applies to both ducted and ductless heat pump installations. The rebate amount is 50% of the total project cost, up to a maximum of $10,000. To qualify, the entire system, including both outdoor and indoor units, must meet specific energy efficiency standards. It's important to confirm with your design technician that both components meet the required criteria, as different ratings apply to the entire system based on the matching indoor unit.
Benefits
Upgrading to a heat pump system can enhance your home's comfort by providing efficient heating and cooling. It can also increase your home's value and help reduce your carbon footprint, contributing to a healthier environment. Plus, using clean energy can lower your energy bills, making your home more affordable to maintain.
