What happened to Electrify Marin
Electrify Marin paid Marin County homeowners to replace gas appliances with electric ones. It ran for several years, spent roughly $1.4 million, and has now ended. Marin County’s own page states that the program is closed and will not accept new applications, so this is not a matter of waiting for it to be refunded.
Two other programs people remember are gone as well. BayREN’s heat pump and heat pump water heater rebates ended in April 2024. The federal 25C tax credit expired for equipment placed in service after 31 December 2025, so a system installed now does not qualify for it.
What a Marin homeowner can still claim
MCE is the community choice energy provider for most of Marin, and it still pays rebates for replacing a gas appliance with a heat pump. It serves San Rafael, Novato, Larkspur, Mill Valley, San Anselmo, Sausalito, Tiburon, Corte Madera, Fairfax, Ross, Belvedere and unincorporated Marin.
- Up to $400 per 500 square feet for a heat pump heating and cooling system, which MCE puts at up to $1,200 on a 1,500 square foot home
- Up to $675 for a heat pump water heater
There is a timing trap in MCE’s rules, and it is the thing most likely to cost you the rebate. You have to own and have lived in a single family detached home in MCE’s area for at least twelve months. If the home already has solar, battery storage or EV charging, that equipment must have been installed at least twelve months ago. And you cannot install any of those for twelve months after the heat pump goes in. If solar or a charger is anywhere on your list, the order you do the work in matters.
For a home EV charger, MCE pays a single family homeowner nothing. That money comes from PG&E, whose Residential Charging Solutions Rebate covers up to half the purchase price of an eligible charger, with higher income qualified tiers on top.
Marin County now points residents to MCE, to The Switch is On, and to Golden State Rebates for heat pump water heaters. Two sources give different amounts for Golden State Rebates, so confirm that one directly rather than budgeting around a figure you read anywhere, including here.
