Steps
-
Make sure your new appliance meets the requirements
To get the rebates, your new appliance must meet our energy standards. If you have any questions, contact us with the appliance model number you're considering to be sure.
- Call: 415-473-3069. Dial 711 for CA relay.

-
Get a permit (if you need one)
If you're replacing your water heater or furnace, you need a permit. Often times, your contractor will get the permit on your behalf.
If you're not sure, the best thing to do is contact your local building department. Tell them what appliances you want to install and ask if you need a permit. They will help you complete the process.
