The short answer
Only in one situation. AB 2313, the Home Energy Choice Act, was signed September 30, 2026. It makes each California gas utility regulated by the CPUC offer a cash incentive to go all-electric instead of replacing your gas service line, when that line is planned for replacement within the next five years.
If your line isn't on the replacement list, this program isn't for you.
How it works
- By January 1, 2028, the CPUC must require each gas utility to offer the program.
- The utility identifies homes whose service line is due for replacement and notifies them. There must also be a way to check eligibility.
- If you join, you switch every gas appliance to electric. The gas is disconnected, the meter removed, and you waive the utility's duty to serve you gas.
- You receive an incentive set by the CPUC: less than the utility would have spent replacing your line, with a larger amount in disadvantaged communities.
The law also requires a contractor list, steps to avoid unnecessary electrical panel upgrades, and protections for tenants.
The limits
- No amount yet. The CPUC sets it later.
- Capped. Enrollment can't exceed 1 percent of each utility's customers, counted together with its neighborhood electrification pilots.
- Not for emergencies. Emergency line replacements are excluded.
- Can be limited by area. Utilities may run it only in certain places.
- Temporary. The program ends January 1, 2035.
Worth doing now
Going all-electric in one step is a big project, so the homes that benefit most will be the ones that planned ahead:
- Replace gas appliances as they fail, with electric ones. A heat pump water heater first is the common route.
- Check your electrical panel's capacity before it's urgent. Get a load calculation before assuming you need a bigger panel. The law tells the CPUC to guard against unnecessary panel upgrades.
- If you have solar, know how much of the new electric load it can cover.
Deciding whether to go electric?
What a heat pump does to your bill depends on your rates, your climate, and, if you have solar, how much your panels already cover. If you own a SunPower or Enphase system, WattHacker's energy review goes through it with you one to one, using your own numbers.
- We measure your system first, so the plan starts from what your roof actually makes.
- You get running costs, energy saved, install costs, and rebates, plus what to do first and what to do next.

Common questions
Will PG&E pay me to switch from gas to electric?
Possibly, under AB 2313, but only in one situation: if the gas service line to your home is planned for replacement within the next five years. By January 1, 2028 each California gas utility regulated by the CPUC must offer an incentive to go all-electric and stop gas service instead of replacing that line. The CPUC sets the amount.
How much is the AB 2313 incentive?
Not set yet. The law says the CPUC will set a standard incentive below what the utility would have spent replacing your service line, and a larger one in disadvantaged communities. No dollar figure is in the law.
How do I know if my gas line is being replaced?
Not yet. The law requires the CPUC to make utilities notify eligible customers and provide a way to check eligibility, but those details haven't been set. Your gas utility is the one to ask once the program is running.
What do I give up if I take the incentive?
Your gas service. The program requires the gas to be disconnected and the meter removed, and you waive the utility's obligation to serve your home with gas. That means every gas appliance must be replaced with an electric one first.
