SMUD serves part of Folsom, so check your electric bill before you count on these amounts.

By Sam Menard · Checked September 26, 2026

Short answer: SMUD serves part of Folsom, so check your electric bill before you count on these amounts. SMUD pays up to $3,000 for a heat pump, up to $4,000 for a heat pump water heater, up to $3,000 for insulation and air sealing, and up to $6,000 for a battery. Statewide heat pump help (TECH Clean California and the federal HEEHRA program) is fully reserved and takes new requests on hold only.
