Frequently Asked Questions

When does Golden State Rebates end?+

The program ends July 31, 2026. The last day to reserve a retail coupon is July 23, 2026. After these dates, the instant rebate will no longer be available. Act quickly if you're considering a heat pump water heater.

Can I stack Golden State Rebates with SMUD or PG&E rebates?+

Yes! Golden State Rebates ($900) + SMUD HPWH rebate ($4,000) = $4,900 total savings. Or Golden State ($900) + PG&E HPWH rebate ($3,200) = $4,100 total. These are separate programs that stack perfectly.

How does the instant rebate work?+

After reserving your coupon at goldenstaterebates.com, you receive a code. When you purchase a qualifying HPWH at a participating retailer (Home Depot, Lowe's), the $900 discount is applied at checkout. No waiting for a check.

Do I need to install it myself to get the rebate?+

No — the rebate covers the purchase. You can hire a professional installer (recommended). NorCal Repairs can handle the installation and also help you file for the separate SMUD or PG&E rebate.
