Your application paperwork

PG&E supports the Golden State Rebates program, which gives a residential instant rebate (up to 700 dollars) toward a qualifying heat pump (electric) water heater. There is no numbered paper form; you confirm eligibility and request a retail coupon online (or buy through a participating distributor), then redeem it at purchase, so the savings come off the price instead of arriving as a mailed check.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm your home has an active PG&E residential electric account and pick a heat pump water heater that is on the Golden State Rebates Qualified Products list.
  2. Go to the official Golden State Rebates heat pump water heater page and choose Get retail coupon (or plan to buy from a participating distributor).
  3. Verify your eligibility, create an account with your PG&E service address, and add the coupon for your selected product and retailer to your cart.
  4. Receive the coupon by email and redeem it when you buy the water heater at the chosen retailer so the rebate comes off the price.
  5. Install the unit within 60 days of purchase and keep it installed (program terms require it to stay in place for at least 5 years); save your receipt in case of an audit.
