Modesto Irrigation District - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

MID's Home Rebate Program offers cash rebates when you purchase and install qualifying energy-efficient products like heat pumps, air conditioners, water heaters, windows, and insulation in your existing home. To participate, submit a completed application with copies of your itemized, dated invoice or sales receipt to MID's Energy Management Department; specific equipment requirements and rebate amounts are listed in the 2026 Home Rebate Catalog available on the program website. MID recommends hiring only state-licensed contractors and obtaining at least 3 bids before committing to any work.

This program creates customer demand for energy-efficient equipment retrofits across MID's residential service territory, with rebates available for a wide range of products from heat pumps to duct sealing that meet program efficiency standards. Contractors should ensure customers have purchased qualifying equipment within the eligible timeframe and help them submit complete application packets with original itemized invoices to MID's Energy Management Department; note that MID emphasizes customers verify contractor licenses through the California Contractors State License Board and recommends customers obtain multiple bids.

The program provides cash rebates for residential customers installing qualifying energy-efficient equipment in existing homes, with specific efficiency standards and product requirements detailed in the annually-updated Home Rebate Catalog. Participants must submit applications with proof of purchase (itemized, dated invoices/receipts) to MID's Energy Management Department; the program covers diverse technologies including HVAC, water heating, building envelope improvements, and pool equipment, targeting existing residential buildings within MID's service area. Funding and rebate levels are established through the program catalog, with applications processed by MID's Energy Management Department and available online submission options.
