Incentives for Energy Upgrades

Upgrading your appliances can be expensive. SoCalGas may be able to help with its incentive program. You may qualify for an incentive on ENERGY STAR certified natural gas tankless water heaters, furnaces, and natural gas fireplace inserts. By upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, you may be able to save money and energy while making your home more comfortable.

Customer Eligibility

To participate in this program, qualified residential customers must have an active account with SoCalGas.

Eligible Appliances

1. Tankless Water Heater (ENERGY STAR®)

Incentive: Up to $ 1,900

2. Natural Gas Furnace (Energy Star)

Incentive: Up to $1,500

Upgrading your furnace may help you save energy, lower energy usage, and make your home more comfortable.

Incentive: Up to $500 (may be combined with San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District Incentive of $1,000 - $2,500)

A natural gas fireplace insert can realistically mimic the look of a wood-burning fireplace. Enjoy the aesthetic of a fireplace insert without needing to clean or remove the ash from your fireplace.
