Cabrillo Plumbing, Heating & Air
Bay Area Rebate Maximizer

Stack the rebates. Keep more of your upgrade.

A high-efficiency heat pump, furnace, or water heater rarely costs the sticker price. Bay Area, statewide, and federal programs can layer together — and Cabrillo helps you line them up before you buy.

How The Stack Works

Layer them in the right order for the biggest return.

  1. 01

    Start with the local rebate

    BayREN Home+ lowers the project cost up front for qualifying efficient equipment — the foundation of the stack.

  2. 02

    Add the statewide incentive

    For heat-pump heating, cooling, and water heating, TECH Clean California layers on as a contractor-filed incentive.

  3. 03

    Layer the water-heater incentive

    Going hybrid? The heat-pump water heater incentive applies to that specific upgrade on top of the above — we file the paperwork for you.
