What CleanPowerSF pays
These figures come from CleanPowerSF's Electrify Your Home page, which we read on October 2, 2026. Credits arrive as $50 off your CleanPowerSF bill. You must be a residential CleanPowerSF customer, and each product must be on the program's approved list.
Electric cooking
$50 a month for 3 months, for an electric range or cooktop installed on or after April 14, 2026.
Electric clothes dryer
$50 a month for 6 months, for a high-efficiency electric dryer installed on or after April 14, 2026.
Gas meter removal
A bonus for fully electric homes, for meters removed on or after April 14, 2026.
Rate requirement
The electrification rate rule (EV2-A or E-ELEC) applies to hot water and heating credits, not to cooking and drying.
A full kitchen and laundry switch
An electric cooktop ($150) and an electric dryer ($300) earn $450. If you then remove the gas meter, add $300. With a heat pump water heater (up to $1,200) and a heat pump (up to $1,200) the whole home can reach $3,150 in bill credits. The credits arrive over time and only for approved models.
Why cooking comes first for air quality
CleanPowerSF calls an electric range or cooktop the most impactful upgrade for the air inside your home, because gas stoves release pollutants whenever they are used. The credit is small ($150), so the case for switching is health and safety first. Induction cooktops heat the pan directly and run on a 240-volt circuit, so ask an electrician whether your kitchen has one before you buy.
If you rent, ask the owner before you swap a stove, since the work touches the gas line and the wiring. Renters can still look at plug-in induction burners that run on a normal outlet while the owner decides.
Dryers and the circuit
An electric dryer needs a 240-volt outlet, and many San Francisco laundry closets are small and use a gas line. Ask your electrician to confirm the circuit and the venting, and ask the plumber to cap the gas line properly. CleanPowerSF wants you to comply with the Department of Building Inspection's permit requirements, so keep the permit with your receipt. The City's permit page explains plumbing and mechanical permits, and gas work needs a plumbing permit.
Removing the gas meter
Once every gas appliance is gone, you can ask to have the meter removed, end the monthly gas service charge, and earn the extra $300. CleanPowerSF says to find out how on its program page. Plan it as the last step. Before you decide, make sure nothing else in the building, such as a fireplace or a furnace shared with another unit, still uses gas.
Your utility: CleanPowerSF
CleanPowerSF's credits are smaller than Glendale's $400 for a gas range or dryer swap (Glendale) and Burbank's $200 for induction (Burbank), with low-income amounts that go much higher there. SMUD pays $750 for gas-to-induction (Sacramento). San Francisco's approach rewards doing the whole home.
