Why California is a priority state

California is one of the first states where HEEHRA actually launched — which means the rebate stack here isn't theoretical. Homeowners are approved, installers are trained, and paperwork flows through state-operated portals instead of sitting in DOE review queues. That's why we ship full state pages with live data here first, and why our installer partners have the deepest coverage in California ZIPs.

California heat pump rebates — frequently asked

California has an open consumer-facing portal with certified contractors actively filing rebate paperwork. See the live state-by-state HEEHRA rollout tracker for program launch dates and income caps.
No — the 25C federal heat pump tax credit was repealed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025 and expired December 31, 2025. California homeowners should focus on state-administered HEEHRA rebates, utility incentives, and remaining 25C items (solar PV, geothermal, battery storage).
Expected rebate stack in California: $8,000 to $14,000. Savings depend on household income, equipment tier, and whether your ZIP has utility programs that layer on top of state rebates. Use the rebate finder on this page to see the exact programs for your ZIP.
HEEHRA uses Area Median Income (AMI) tiers from HUD, which vary by county and household size. Under 80% AMI qualifies for the full rebate (up to $8,000 heat pump + $14,000 whole-package). Between 80–150% AMI qualifies for 50% of the rebate. Above 150% AMI is not HEEHRA-eligible but can still stack utility programs.
Yes — HEEHRA is designed to stack with state and utility programs. The application order matters: federal tax credits (where applicable), then state energy office rebates, then utility incentives, then manufacturer/dealer rebates. Stacking correctly is how homeowners reach net-cost savings of 50–90% off the pre-rebate install price.
