Quick Answer: Bay Area homeowners can get $250–$4,500 in rebates for home insulation and weatherization upgrades in 2025. Key programs: PG&E Energy Upgrade California offers $1,000–$3,000 for whole-home energy upgrades (must use a participating contractor); TECH Clean California provides rebates for heat pump water heaters ($1,000–$3,000) and heat pumps ($500–$5,000); the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers a 30% tax credit up to $1,200/year for insulation, air sealing, and weatherstripping; and low-income households can access the HEAR Act program for 100% cost coverage.
