Sacramento-Area Utility Incentives Explained
SMUD and PG&E serve different parts of the Sacramento area. They have different rebate programs. Knowing which one you have changes what you can access. Fresh Air finds out at the free estimate. No charge.
Two power companies serve the Sacramento metro area. SMUD covers most of the city and inner suburbs. PG&E covers Roseville, Folsom, El Dorado Hills, and parts of the county. They have different rebate programs. You cannot use SMUD rebates if PG&E serves you. And vice versa. Fresh Air Heating and Air has served both areas since 2009. We find out which one you have at the free estimate. Then we tell you what applies. It is that simple. No research needed on your end.
SMUD serves Sacramento city, Citrus Heights, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Rancho Cordova, and Natomas. SMUD's 2026 rebates favor gas-to-electric heat pump swaps. Check current amounts at smud.org. Amounts can change. We track them.
PG&E serves Roseville, Folsom, Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn, and Elk Grove. PG&E has its own rebate programs. Customers there cannot access SMUD rebates. They can use GoGreen Home Energy Financing instead.
Our service area covers SMUD and PG&E areas alike. We pull permits in Sacramento County and Placer County. We know the rebate options for both. We find your best path at the free estimate. One call. One estimate. All the answers.
SMUD boosted its heat pump rebates in February 2026. This was to offset the end of federal tax credits. SMUD's goal is electrification. The largest rebates go to customers who switch from gas to electric heat pumps. If you are in SMUD's area and have gas heat, this is a good time to switch. Federal credits are gone. But SMUD's program is active. It is well funded. Check current amounts at smud.org before your setup.
PG&E customers have a different landscape. PG&E offers its own rebate programs. The amounts and structure differ from SMUD. GoGreen Home Energy Financing works for both areas. It provides low-interest loans for heat pump setups. It is not tied to your power company. California's energy code now favors heat pumps. Fresh Air explains the rebates for your address at your free in-home estimate. We do the research for you.
