HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER PROGRAM UPDATE
Learn more and apply at www.cityofpaloalto.org/switch
• Last fall, we announced limited-time savings for our Heat Pump Water Heater program thanks to a new statewide
effort; residents can save up to $7,100 to install a better water heater.
• The state money is fully subscribed and the existing pricing will continue only until Council consideration of revised pricing in mid-April.
• In the meantime, we encourage residents to take advantage of big savings today, and join the over 300 homeowners who have made the switch to a heat pump water heater.
One call does it all. Call us at
(650) 713-3411 to learn more.
