SoCalGas - Custom Non-Residential Energy Efficiency Program

August 25, 2025

Summary

The 2025 SoCalGas Energy Efficiency Rebates for Business (EERB) Program offers financial incentives to commercial, industrial, public, and agricultural customers that install qualifying high-efficiency natural gas equipment. Residential customers are not eligible. To participate, applicants must have an active SoCalGas account, and all equipment must be new, fully installed, operational, and paid in full before submitting an application by January 31, 2026. Rebates are generally issued within 45 business days of approval, with some products eligible for instant discounts at the point of sale. Covered equipment includes boilers and water heaters, pool heaters, economizers, heat recovery systems, steam traps, recirculating pump controls, insulation and greenhouse products, foodservice appliances, laundry equipment, patio heaters, and solar thermal collectors. Rebates cannot exceed the cost of purchase and professional installation, and previously rebated equipment is not eligible. Certain measures may be combined with water agency incentives, and funding is limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
