Riverside Public Utilities - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
City of Riverside residential energy efficiency rebate program
program summary
Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) offers a variety of rebate programs to help residents save on energy, water, and electric vehicle (EV) costs. The Energy Rebates include incentives for energy-efficient appliances, HVAC systems, weatherization, and smart thermostats, with rebates for products like refrigerators, air conditioners, ceiling fans, and even electric water heaters. For water conservation, RPU partners with SoCal Water$mart, offering rebates for high-efficiency toilets, clothes washers, turf removal, irrigation systems, and rain barrels. The Pool & Spa Pump program offers rebates for variable-speed pumps, and there's even a Pool Pump Billing Credit to reward off-peak operation. Additionally, the Electrify Riverside program encourages the adoption of electric vehicles with rebates for used EVs, Level 2 chargers, and time-of-use meters. These rebates help residents lower their utility bills while also supporting environmental sustainability. The program is available to all Riverside residents, with some specific incentives for low-income customers.
