MCE heat pump rebates
Walnut Creek, Concord, San Ramon and other MCE cities. Contractor registration matters.
Your bill says MCE or PG&E generation. That split decides the stack. We look at the bill, not a county map cartoon.
Federal 25C for air-source heat pumps expired December 31, 2025. Bay Area stacks (MCE, Ava/EBCE, BayREN, HEEHRA) open and close. A number from last year’s blog is often wrong.
Use this as a field guide to MCE heat pump rebate, then book a visit if the house still misbehaves.
We check what is actually funded the week we write the estimate. If a window is closed, it stays off the quote.
We map MCE heat pump rebate to the actual failed part or design limit. Age of the system is a data point, not the diagnosis.
You approve any repair after the findings are written down. Diagnostic visits are a flat $69. New installation estimates are free in-home with a load calculation — not a number invented from square footage on Zillow.
Printing “up to $8,000” on every proposal is how contractors get complaints when the program paused.
A company that skips testing on MCE heat pump rebate will skip it on the next call too. We would rather lose a job than install the wrong thing.

OTTER HVAC is based at 2939 Santos Ln, Walnut Creek. Alameda, Walnut Creek, and San Ramon are regular routes, along with the rest of our listed East Bay cities. Hours are 7am–5pm, seven days a week. We do not advertise 24/7 because we do not staff a night shift.
Inland heat (Pleasanton, Livermore, Concord) and marine air (Alameda, Daly City) are different loads. A note written for Alameda is not automatically right for a fog-belt house. We treat them that way.
