What Roseville Electric pays
These are Roseville Electric's own rebates for homes it serves. You apply after the work is done, with a paid invoice and, for most of them, a final City of Roseville building permit. Rebates over $600 are reported to the IRS on a 1099, so keep your paperwork.
Heat pump (heating and cooling)
$2,500 for a variable-stage heat pump that replaces gas heat, $1,500 for two-stage. Electric to electric pays $1,600 or $600. Up to two systems per home.
Heat pump water heater
$2,500 when it replaces a gas water heater, $1,000 when it replaces an electric one. NEEA Tier 3 or 4 models only.
Electrical panel
The new panel must add circuits for an EV charger, heat pump, heat pump water heater, induction cooktop or heat pump dryer.
Induction cooktop
30 inches or wider, not a plug-in unit. Send before and after photos.
Whole house fan
At least 2,000 CFM, in a home with central air. Up to two fans.
Heat pump dryer
ENERGY STAR certified.
Smart thermostat
Plus $25 when you join Power Flex and $25 for each year you stay in.
Pool pump and shade trees
A variable speed pump for an in-ground pool. Trees: up to six, on the south, east or west side of the house.
Level 2 EV charger
Roseville Electric offers a charger rebate, with an income-qualified version, but the program page does not show the dollar amount.
TECH Clean California
The state's single-family heat pump money is fully reserved. New requests are put on hold.
HEEHRA (income-qualified)
California's federally funded heat pump rebate for single-family homes is fully reserved statewide.
A worked example. Say you replace a gas furnace with a variable-stage heat pump, swap a gas tank water heater for a heat pump model, and need a new panel to carry both. Roseville Electric would pay $2,500 + $2,500 + $1,000 = $6,000, as long as each piece meets the program rules and passes the City inspection.
Why the gas-to-electric amounts matter here
The US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2020 to 2024) counts about 59,100 occupied homes in Roseville. About 68% of them heat with natural gas and about 29% with electricity. So most Roseville families who look at a heat pump are replacing a gas furnace, and that is exactly the case where Roseville Electric pays the most: $2,500 for a variable-stage system instead of $1,600 for an electric-to-electric swap.
The same survey shows about 75% of homes are single detached houses, and about 69% are owned by the people who live in them. Many rebates here, like the whole house fan, pool pump and shade tree rebates, are only for single-family homes, so this matters too. Roseville is also young: about 46% of homes were built in 2000 or later, and only about 17% before 1980. A newer home often has ducts that can pass the Title 24 duct test the heat pump rebate needs, but ask your contractor to check before you count on it.
What the heat pump rebate asks for
Roseville Electric wants a multi-stage system. A split system must reach at least 16 SEER and 8.2 HSPF, and a packaged unit at least 15 SEER and 8.0 HSPF. The ducts must pass a Title 24 test, shown on a HERS CF3R form. You also need a City of Roseville building permit and a paid invoice that shows the full cost before any rebate. Mini-splits can qualify if they meet the same rules.
Roseville's winters are mild for a heat pump. Over 2015 to 2024, the average January low was 4.5°C (about 40°F), and the coldest day on record in that span was -3.6°C (about 26°F). Summers are what drive the size of the system, so ask for a load calculation, not a guess based on the old unit.
Solar and batteries in Roseville
We found no solar panel or home battery cash rebate on Roseville Electric's residential rebate pages. What the utility does have is a Trusted Solar Advisor and clear rules for hooking up. Your system can be no bigger than what makes 100% of your last 12 months of power use. If you do not have a year of bills, the limit is 3 kWh a year for each square foot of living space, so a 2,000 square foot home can size up to 6,000 kWh a year. Your contractor emails the interconnection form to solar@roseville.ca.gov. Roseville sets its own rules for credit on power you send back, so ask Roseville Electric how your bill will work before you sign.
Help with bills
If money is tight, Roseville's Utility Rate Assistance Program takes 20% off the standard home electric rate and $15 off the electric base charge, and up to 20% off the water base charge. A medical rate cuts 50% off the first 500 kWh for homes that qualify by income and medical equipment. Being enrolled in either one also opens the income-qualified EV charger and e-bike rebates. For help paying a bill, Project GO runs the Home Energy Assistance Program.
Money that ended or is on hold
The federal 25C and 25D tax credits ended for work finished after December 31, 2025, so we do not count them. The state's TECH Clean California and HEEHRA heat pump money for single-family homes is fully reserved, and new requests are put on hold. Roseville Electric's own rebates are the money you can count on right now. One more date to know: the $50 HVAC tune-up rebate only runs from April 1 to October 1 each year, so this year's season has just closed.
Which company serves your address
Roseville Electric serves the City of Roseville. Homes just outside city limits, in other parts of Placer County, can be on a different power company, and SMUD serves Sacramento County to the south. Check the name on your power bill before you plan around any amount on this page. Your gas bill is separate, and Roseville Electric's rebates are paid by the electric utility, not the gas company.

Common questions
Does SMUD serve Roseville?
No. Roseville has its own city-owned utility, Roseville Electric Utility, so SMUD's rebates do not apply inside the city. Use Roseville Electric's rebates instead.
How much is the Roseville heat pump rebate?
$2,500 for a variable-stage heat pump that replaces gas heat and $1,500 for a two-stage one. If you already heat with electricity, it is $1,600 or $600. Up to two systems per home.
Is there a Roseville heat pump water heater rebate?
Yes. $2,500 when it replaces a gas water heater and $1,000 when it replaces an electric one. It must be a NEEA Tier 3 or 4 model.
Does Roseville Electric pay for solar or batteries?
We found no cash rebate for solar panels or home batteries on its residential pages. It does help with the hookup through its Trusted Solar Advisor.
Do I need a permit to get the rebate?
For most of them, yes. The heat pump, water heater, panel, induction cooktop and dryer rebates ask for a City of Roseville permit.
Are Roseville rebates taxable?
They may be. Roseville Electric reports rebates over $600 to the IRS on a 1099, and suggests you ask your own tax advisor.
