The thing most pages get wrong
SVCE's own rebates page says a limited-time $500 extra on heat pump water heaters "is back" for September to October 2026, and further down the same page that it "has now expired". Its heat pump page still tells higher-income households there is "no need to wait for the state rebates" up to 150% of area median income; those HEEHRA rebates have been fully reserved since February 2026.
Full Service Home Upgrades
SVCE also runs a managed service with vetted contractors that handles assessment, installation, permits and rebates; income-qualified households get it at no cost. Qualified SVCE customers in BayREN's EASE Home are enrolled in it automatically.
