SMUD Rebates

Go electric, and let the rebate cover part of it.

If your electricity comes from SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District), you may qualify for rebates when you replace a gas water heater or HVAC system with efficient electric equipment. Many of those rebates require a participating contractor, and AccuFlow is a SMUD approved contractor. In our service area that covers homes in places like Elk Grove, Galt, Wilton and Herald. The most common upgrades are a heat pump water heater and a heat pump HVAC system. Rebate amounts and eligibility change, so we confirm the current SMUD offers for your address before you commit to anything.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Efficient electric water heaters that replace aging gas tanks.

Heat Pump HVAC

Rebate Eligibility Check

Current SMUD offers confirmed for your address before you decide.

Paperwork Handled

Equipment documentation and photos the program requires, submitted for you.

How the process works

First we confirm you’re a SMUD customer and check the current rebate offers for your home. Then we look at the equipment, the space and the electrical service, since some projects need a panel check or a new circuit first. We size and quote the heat pump equipment, install it, and handle the documentation the program requires so the rebate can be processed.

Good times to look at SMUD rebates

  • Your gas water heater is 10+ years old
  • Your AC or furnace needs a major repair
  • You are adding solar or planning an EV charger
  • You want to move away from gas appliances
  • Your energy bills keep rising
  • You’re remodeling and replacing equipment anyway

Heat pump water heaters

A heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air, using far less electricity than a standard electric tank. It needs a bit more space, a condensate drain and the right circuit, and a garage is usually an ideal spot. See gas vs. electric water heaters for how it compares.

Not a SMUD customer?

Lodi and most of San Joaquin County are served by other utilities, so SMUD rebates don’t apply there. Other incentives may, and heat pumps can still make sense on operating costs alone. See AC and heat pump installation and water heater installation for options anywhere in our service area.
