Would you upgrade a gas appliance to electric with a rebate or incentive?

Menlo Park has committed all available funding for its home electrification matching rebates, and new awards under the program have ended. The city announced last week that the rebates were fully subscribed.

Why it matters

Residents seeking help with home electrification upgrades in Menlo Park will need to look to other programs, such as those administered through WestLight Energy. The city directed residents to those alternative incentives after the matching rebates closed.

The city's broader electrification initiative received $4.5 million in state funding, and approximately $2.52 million had been spent across its programs as of its September update. Qualifying low-income households may receive improvements worth up to $50,000, depending on program requirements and available funding.

The players

WestLight Energy

WestLight Energy is the organization that administers the Home Upgrade Services program in Menlo Park and offers home electrification upgrades.

The details

The city's matching rebate program for home electrification is closed to new awards. Eligible low-income households can still receive assistance through the Home Upgrade Services program, which WestLight Energy administers and which offers upgrades including electric heat pumps, water heaters and electrical panels.

The Home Upgrade Services program began in the Belle Haven neighborhood in 2024.
The city reported approximately $2.52 million in spending across its electrification programs in September 2026.
The city announced the matching rebates were fully subscribed last week.

Electric Vehicles

Menlo Park's electrification push extends beyond home upgrades to electric vehicle rebates and e-bike vouchers offered through local partner organizations. The city's approach pairs state funding with a combination of home, vehicle and mobility incentives.

Residents who were hoping to use the matching rebates will need to pursue other options, such as the Home Upgrade Services program for eligible low-income households. Those seeking upgrades can contact WestLight Energy directly to learn about heat pumps, water heaters and electrical panel work.

The takeaway

Residents interested in home electrification should check eligibility for the Home Upgrade Services program now that the city's matching rebates are fully subscribed. Early inquiry helps households plan around available funding.
