SMUD: Heat Pump Water Heater Rebate
Save money on home water heater upgrades with a rebate from SMUD.
Rebate Overview
Overview
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) offers a $500 rebate for homeowners replacing their existing electric resistance water heaters with qualifying heat pump water heaters. To be eligible, the new unit must have a Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) of 2.87 or higher.
Benefits
Upgrading to a heat pump water heater can significantly reduce your home's energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills. These systems are more efficient than traditional models, helping you save money over time. Additionally, using electricity instead of gas reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment.
