Pinole Energy Enhancement Rebate Program

How it works

The City of Pinole’s Energy Enhancement Rebate Program offers rebates for eligible energy-efficiency and all-electric upgrades in Pinole. The county-administered program page describes several pathways, including energy efficiency only, energy efficiency plus all-electric appliances, all-electric appliances only, and multifamily pathways.

What the money covers

Examples of eligible energy-efficiency work include insulation, duct sealing or replacement, and weatherstripping. Examples of all-electric appliances include heat pumps for space heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters, induction cooktops/ranges, and heat pump clothes dryers.

Amounts and matching

For the BayREN EASE Home portion referenced on the page, BayREN covers 80% of project costs and project scopes average from $5,000 to $7,000. The page also states that the customer co-pay can be up to 20% of the project cost for the core energy-efficiency improvements, with any added all-electric appliances costing extra. The page reviewed does not state a single rebate cap for the PEER program in the visible lines.

How to apply

Homeowners use the county program page to reserve rebates and submit project documents. The page says a free site visit with a BayREN Energy Advisor is part of the EASE Home pathway, and it requires a Rebate Reservation Form and a Completed Project Form, along with final permits, before-and-after photos, itemized invoices or proof of purchase, W-9, and other required materials.

Timing and deadlines

The current Pinole program phase is available from March 4, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
