Whole House Fans Rebate

Cool your house with a whole house fan and get up to a $200 rebate

Whole house fans are effective at helping you keep cool by pulling in cool air and flushing out hot air from your home in the evening. They can also reduce electric costs by eliminating the need for air conditioning in our climate.

One rebate per Silicon Valley Power utility account. Rebate is only for retrofits. New construction does not qualify. Rebate will be paid at actual cost of fan and installation or $200, whichever is less. Whole house fans must move 1,000 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) or more and be permanently installed (connected to the framing) to be eligible for a rebate.

You will need to have an electrical permit and a mechanical permit may be required from the City's Permit Center. Funds are limited, so apply soon.
