Can Folsom SMUD Customers Get Rebates on AC Upgrades?

Folsom falls within the SMUD service territory, and SMUD has historically offered rebates on qualifying high-efficiency heat-pump and central AC systems. When a repair estimate approaches a significant portion of a replacement system's cost, upgrading may make financial sense, and SMUD incentives can help offset that investment. Ask the Golden Aire team about your system's efficiency rating and potential eligibility. For current rebate amounts, go directly to smud.org, as program details and funding availability change.
