Fresno Smart Sprinkler Controller Rebates: What to Check Before You Buy
A smart sprinkler controller can make irrigation scheduling easier, but Fresno homeowners should check current City programs before purchasing equipment.
City of Fresno Rebate Information
The City currently advertises a rebate of up to $105 for a qualifying WaterSense-certified smart irrigation controller, subject to eligibility and program availability. The city also currently describes a separate grant-funded free smart-controller retrofit program for qualifying single-family customers.
Check current eligibility, funding, equipment requirements, and application instructions directly with the City before buying.

Fix the Irrigation System First
A smart controller cannot correct a broken pipe, stuck valve, clogged nozzle, or poor head spacing. If the system has mechanical problems, repair those before expecting a controller upgrade to improve watering.
Make Sure the Controller Matches Your System
Count the zones, understand the existing wiring, and make sure the controller can be programmed for Fresno’s current watering rules.
