Clear filtersSMUD currently publishes heat-pump HVAC rebates with different levels for gas-to-electric and electric-to-electric projects, but funding and technical requirements can change. The agent should retrieve the current SMUD page before quoting an amount.
SMUD states that qualifying HVAC rebates must be submitted through its participating Contractor Network. Current contractor and equipment requirements should be checked for each project.
SMUD states that its heat-pump HVAC rebates may be combined with some other statewide or external incentives when available. Eligibility and funding must be verified at the time of the project.
SMUD publishes equipment and staging/efficiency requirements for eligible heat pumps. Because program criteria change, the exact current requirement should be retrieved live before recommending equipment.

Pioneer currently lists an AC Tune-Up program among its residential offerings, but dates, amounts and eligibility can change. Verify the current program before quoting.

Roseville has published smart-thermostat incentive programs, but current amounts and funding should be confirmed on the active utility program page before giving a customer a dollar figure.

Yes. Many utility and state programs are subject to available funding, program dates or reservation rules. Never promise a rebate until current funding and eligibility are verified.
No. Incentives can improve project economics, but the equipment still needs to fit the home's load, ducts, comfort goals, electrical system and ownership plan.
Yes. The advisor can use location, utility, existing fuel and project type to narrow likely programs, but final eligibility and amounts should be verified against current official program rules.
Equipment condition still requires professional evaluation. For regulations, rebates and efficiency guidance, Heco checks authoritative sources and identifies items that can change.
