Navigating the rebate landscape can be confusing. Thousands of dollars are left on the table every year because homeowners simply don't know what programs exist. Here are the top 5 rebates you should know about this year.

1. Heat Pump HVAC Systems (TECH Clean California)

Switching from a gas furnace to an electric heat pump is a priority for the state. Rebates can range from $3,000 to $6,000 depending on your utility territory and equipment efficiency.

2. Smart Thermostats

Almost every utility (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) offers a rebate for installing a smart thermostat like Nest or Ecobee. These typically range from **$50 to $75**, sometimes instantly at the point of sale.

3. Induction Cooktops

Moving away from gas stoves? Local air districts and community energy providers are offering rebates of **$250 to $750** to help you make the switch to safer, cleaner induction cooking.

4. Window Upgrades

Replacing single-pane windows with high-efficiency double or triple-pane models can qualify you for federal tax credits (up to $600) and various local utility financing programs like REEL.

5. Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters

This is one of the biggest energy savers for a home. Between federal tax credits (30%) and Golden State Rebates, you can often recoup over **50% of the installation cost**.
