FAQ about PG&E Rebates

Because rebates are available only for PG&E customers, PG&E confirms your account information when we process your rebate application.

Navigate to the lower part of the page for instructions or call Smarter Energy Line Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 1-800-933-9555.

In general, if you submit your application through eRebates, your application will be processed faster.  However, if you purchased your product last year, and less than 60 days have passed since your purchase, please use a mail-in rebate application. Please note that applications must be submitted within 60 days of purchase and installation. If you see a product is eligible in the current PG&E Rebate Catalog, but you do not see the item in eRebates, you may need to submit a mail-in application form. Links to eRebates, the mail-in application form, and the current PG&E Rebate Catalog are available at www.pge.com/rebates. Contact the Smarter Energy Line with questions: Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 1-800-933-9555.

PG&E rebates are offered each year, until funding is depleted.

No. However, you will need your Service Agreement ID (SAID), located on your PG&E bill.

Your contractor must provide you with an invoice or signed contract that indicates the date of purchase and installation.

Rebate checks are mailed within six to eight weeks after we receive a complete application with valid proof of purchase. If your rebate application is incomplete or selected for verification, processing time could take longer. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis or until funds are depleted.
