HEAT PUMP REBATES IN SAN FRANCISCO 2026
San Francisco homeowners can capture substantial rebates for heat pump installation in 2026. The TECH Clean California program provides $1,000–$4,500 for qualifying heat pump systems — available to all California homeowners regardless of income. The federal Inflation Reduction Act provides a 30% tax credit up to $2,000 for heat pump installation. PG&E offers additional rebates that vary by system type and efficiency. Combined, total incentives can exceed $10,000 for a qualifying whole-home heat pump installation. SolidBay's team helps you identify every available incentive and ensures your system qualifies — we handle all rebate applications as part of our installation service.
Heat pump systems work by moving heat rather than generating it — extracting heat from outdoor air (even in cold weather) and moving it inside. This process is 2–4x more efficient than gas furnaces or electric resistance heating, resulting in significantly lower energy bills. Modern cold-climate heat pumps operate efficiently down to 0°F — more than adequate for San Francisco's mild winters. For whole-home systems, a central ducted heat pump replaces both your furnace and AC with a single efficient unit. For homes without ductwork or for additions and ADUs, ductless mini-split heat pumps provide zone-by-zone control with no ductwork required. SolidBay installs both ducted and ductless heat pump systems throughout San Francisco, handling design, permits, installation, and rebate applications end to end.
