Rebates depend on your electric utility. Here is what each one pays, with a source for every amount.
Short answer: Sacramento is served by SMUD, which runs its own rebates. Your utility sets which rebates you can claim, so find it below. Statewide help for heat pumps (TECH Clean California and the federal HEEHRA program) is fully reserved and taking waitlist requests only.
