Rebate Overview
Overview
Silicon Valley Clean Energy offers a rebate for prewiring up to four circuits in your home, each valued at $500, totaling up to $2,000. This initiative supports the electrification of existing gas appliances by preparing your home for future electric upgrades. Income-qualified customers may receive an additional $250 per circuit, increasing the total rebate to $3,000. To qualify, you must install at least one of the core rebate appliances, such as a heat pump water heater or heat pump HVAC system. Please note, prewiring costs should be itemized by circuit on the contractor invoice, and appliance prewiring cannot be paired with that same appliance rebate. Additionally, proof of building permit issuance is required. This program is available to residents of Santa Clara who receive electricity from Silicon Valley Power. The program is ongoing; no end date has been specified. For complete program details, please contact Silicon Valley Power directly.
