Rebate-Eligible Equipment and Appliances in California

See which appliances and upgrades qualify for California’s energy rebates and incentives in 2025. Covers eligible equipment under HEEHRA and HOMES programs.

Both the HEEHRA and HOMES programs offer thousands of dollars in energy rebates to Californians who upgrade to energy-efficient, all-electric appliances. But what exactly qualifies?

This guide covers the rebate-eligible equipment and appliances under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)-funded programs in California, including both single-family and multifamily installations.

Which Programs Cover Which Appliances?

The type of equipment that qualifies depends on whether you’re applying through:

  • HEEHRA, which offers fixed rebates for specific electric appliances (income-qualified only), or
  • HOMES, which offers performance-based rebates for total energy savings (open to all Californians).

Here’s a breakdown of the most common upgrades:

Appliance or Upgrade HEEHRA HOMES
Heat pump (heating/cooling) ✅ Up to $8,000 ✅ Based on energy savings
Heat pump water heater ✅ Up to $1,750 ✅
Electric stove, cooktop, oven ✅ Up to $840 ⚠️ Indirect (part of whole-home project)
Heat pump clothes dryer ✅ Up to $840 ⚠️ Indirect
Electrical panel upgrade ✅ Up to $4,000 ✅
Home insulation & air sealing ❌ ✅ Key for HOMES
Smart thermostats ❌ ✅ May contribute to savings

Rebate Amounts for HEEHRA Equipment

Here’s a closer look at the maximum rebate values available under the HEEHRA program for 2025:

Eligible Upgrade Maximum Rebate
Heat pump (HVAC) $8,000
Heat pump water heater $1,750
Electric stove, oven, cooktop $840
Heat pump clothes dryer $840
Electrical panel upgrade $4,000
Electric wiring upgrades $2,500

Can I Stack HEEHRA and HOMES Rebates?

Yes—in some cases, it may be possible to receive both HEEHRA and HOMES rebates, as long as:

  • The rebates do not cover the same specific costs.
  • The household meets income eligibility for HEEHRA.
  • The projects align with performance-based energy savings required by HOMES.

You should always consult your TECH Clean California contractor to help determine which program(s) your upgrades qualify for and how to maximize your energy incentives.

Upgrading your home appliances and systems to energy-efficient electric models is more affordable than ever in 2025. With funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, Californians can receive up to $14,000 in energy rebates through programs like HEEHRA and HOMES.
