High Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA) Program
Maximize your savings with additional incentives
What is the High Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA) program?
The highly anticipated High Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Act (HEEHRA) program launched on November 12, 2024. Offering up to $8,000 in rebates, this program assists low- to moderate- income households to convert their gas heating systems to all electric. With the rise of induction cooktops, heat pump water heaters, and heat pump HVAC systems, building electrification has been a hot topic the past few years. So, why has there been a shift in electrification? Climate: As a statewide effort to go green, California Senate Bill 100 requires 60% of California electricity to be generated by renewable resources by 2030 and 100% carbon-free by 2045. By converting natural gas appliances to electric, there has been a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. Cost Savings. With the rise in popularity of solar panel systems, shifting appliances from gas to electric powered greatly reduces energy costs for customers who have solar. Health & Safety. Removing combustion appliances from the home reduces the risk of carbon monoxide leaks in the home. Furthermore, the conversion to electric HVAC systems reduces emissions in the air. Starting in 2030, gas heating and water heating equipment will no longer be sold in California.What are the HEEHRA rebate incentives?
The amount you are eligible to receive from HEEHRA is dependent on your total annual household income. If your total household income is under 80% of the area median income (AMI), you are eligible to receive $8,000 in rebates. If your total household income is between 80-150% of the area median income (AMI), you are eligible to receive $4,000 in rebates.HEEHRA REBATE
