How much you get
There's no flat dollar rebate for a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV) from SMUD in Roseville the way there is for a heat pump or water heater. Ventilation equipment simply isn't a category SMUD funds in its residential rebate catalog right now.
Roseville has been one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Sacramento region for two decades, and a lot of that growth is code-compliant, well-sealed new construction — the exact profile where a homeowner starts asking about HRVs.
It's also worth ruling out the two programs homeowners sometimes assume cover this. TECH Clean California funds heat pump HVAC and heat pump water heater installs, not ventilation equipment — and as of late 2025 its single-family heat pump incentives were fully reserved anyway. And the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), which used to cover 30% of some efficiency upgrades, expired December 31, 2025; even while it was active, it never listed HRVs or ERVs among qualifying equipment. So for now, an HRV or ERV in Roseville is an out-of-pocket upgrade.

Common questions
Is there a Roseville HRV rebate through the city's own electric utility?
No. Roseville Electric doesn't run a ventilation-specific rebate, and neither does SMUD's territory next door — this is a statewide gap, not a Roseville-specific one.
What should a Roseville homeowner do instead of waiting for an HRV rebate?
Treat it as a straight equipment-and-install cost, price a few local installers, and fold it into a broader retrofit plan rather than delaying for a rebate that doesn't currently exist. See our general guide to HRV and ERV systems for how the equipment works and what it costs.
