San Francisco's electricity comes from CleanPowerSF, which pays rebates as monthly bill credits, not as a cheque.
Short answer: San Francisco's electricity comes from CleanPowerSF, which pays rebates as monthly bill credits, not as a cheque. It pays up to $1,200 for a heat pump water heater and up to $1,200 for heat pump heating, plus smaller credits for electric cooking, a dryer and gas meter removal. Statewide heat pump help (TECH Clean California and the federal HEEHRA program) is fully reserved and takes new requests on hold only.
$50 off your bill each month for 24 months. You must enrol the new water heater in a load-shifting program, and the install needs a San Francisco permit. Source Open (checked 2026-10-01)

BayREN and state programs help with weatherization and sign-ups, but pay no fixed cash amount we could verify for San Francisco. Rebates for batteries, EV chargers, insulation and solar are not listed on CleanPowerSF's pages, so we show no amounts for them. Tell us at [email protected] if you find a current one.
