Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) - Single Family Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

BayREN offers rebates for energy efficiency upgrades like insulation, air conditioning units, heat pump dryers, and duct/air sealing at single-family homes in the Bay Area. You can receive up to $4,000 in rebates per customer over an eight-year period, with one rebate per measure per address, but you must not have received the same rebate from another PG&E-ratepayer-funded program within the past three years (eight years for building shell and HVAC work). Start by visiting the BayREN website or contacting your county contact to explore available programs and find rebates for your specific upgrades.

BayREN customers are eligible for rebates covering insulation, air conditioning, heat pump dryers, and other equipment, with a cumulative cap of $4,000 per customer over eight years and individual rebates capped at the measure cost. You must verify that customers have not already received rebates for the same product from another PG&E-funded program within the past three years (or eight years for building shell/HVAC), and only one rebate per measure per address is permitted. Contractors should direct customers to the BayREN website or their county contact to confirm eligibility and access the rebate application process.

BayREN administers rebates funded by PG&E ratepayer dollars for single-family residential energy efficiency measures including insulation, HVAC, and appliances. The program enforces a three-year lookback for O&M measures and eight-year lookback for building shell and HVAC to prevent double-rebating across programs, with an individual customer cap of $4,000 over eight years and a requirement that rebates not exceed measure costs. The program targets single-family homeowners in the Bay Area and is supported by county contacts and online incentive finder tools to streamline customer outreach and enrollment.
