California's statewide programs are full. Here is exactly where each stands, and what we could not confirm.
Short answer: We have not verified a current home rebate from the utilities that serve Fremont (PG&E, Southern California Edison, SDG&E and others) on a program page, so we show no utility amounts here. Statewide heat pump help (TECH Clean California and the federal HEEHRA program) is fully reserved and taking waitlist requests only. The federal 25C and 25D tax credits ended for 2026 installs.
Utility rebates from PG&E, Southern California Edison and SDG&E. Quoted amounts on other sites do not match a program page we could read, so we leave them out. Ask your utility before you buy, and tell us at [email protected] if you find a current one.
BayREN pays 80% of the cost of weatherization work such as insulation, air sealing and duct sealing, and up to $2,000 toward replacing old knob-and-tube wiring (a limited-time offer). You must own a single-family home of four units or fewer built before 2010, be a PG&E customer, have household income at or under 120% of your county's area median, and include at least one weatherization measure. BayREN helps you apply for heat pump and water heater rebates but does not pay for that equipment. Source (checked 2026-10-01)
Your local power provider may also run its own rebates (for example Ava Community Energy in Oakland, Berkeley and Fremont, or San Jose Clean Energy). We have not been able to confirm those amounts from the programs' own pages, so we show none.
| Program | Amount | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| TECH Clean California (single-family) | Waitlist onlyWaitlist | Single-family incentives are fully reserved. New requests go on a waitlist. It was a contractor-applied discount of $1,000 to $5,000. Source (checked 2026-09-26) |
| HEEHRA income-qualified heat pump rebate | Waitlist onlyWaitlist | Fully reserved statewide since February 24, 2026. It was up to $8,000 for households under 80% of area median income. Source (checked 2026-09-26) |
| Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) | Varies by tierConfirm status | Income-qualified, medical baseline or high fire-threat households. Much of it is waitlisted. Check the SGIP step tracker at selfgenca.com. Not added to your total. Source (checked 2026-09-26) |
The federal 25C and 25D tax credits ended for spending after December 31, 2025, so we do not count them.
