Eligibility
PG&E or community choice (CCA) electric customers who already have a heat pump water heater on the program's qualified list, or a "smart" electric water heater.
Auto Summary
PG&E's WatterSaver program shifts when your water heater runs to cheaper hours and pays you for it: $50 for enrolling and $5 a month, paid every three months as gift cards (including Visa/Mastercard debit). It's free, there's no contract, you won't run out of hot water, and you can opt out any time in your account, by emailing support@watter-saver.com, or by changing the water heater's setting. Verified 2026-10-21 from PG&E's Fall 2026 community-organization training slides.
