On average 1000 water heaters are replaced in Palo Alto annually. Consider installing a heat pump water heater for a chance to win a free appliance and installation worth up to $15,000.
City's programs are available to help you consider the long-term environmental, financial and health benefits of electrifying your home. Electric appliances like heat pump water heaters, heat pump HVACs, electric vehicles, solar panels, and induction stoves, are more efficient than their counterparts.
Switching is easy with City tools and rebates saving you time and money. Join your neighbors who have switched, protecting the planet one home at a time. Some or all of these appliances may be required to be replaced with electric alternatives. Take advantage of savings, plus switch now and gain a chance to save even more.
We are recognizing Earth Day/Earth Month, by celebrating our community's progress reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2030 (based on 1990 levels). Thanks to community actions there has been a 47% decrease in community emissions (2022 results), which is about halfway to the goal and midway through the initial Sustainability & Climate Action Plan cycle. This is with a 21% population increase.
