Consumers who have questions about the status of their reservation request or rebate should contact their contractor or TECH Clean California at tech.info@energy-solution.com.
We recommend using the Eligibility Express income verification portal as it provides faster income determinations. If you need support in a language other than English or need to qualify your income using documentation other than a 2024 qualifying tax form or proof of enrollment in CalFresh, Medi-Cal, WIC, or SSI, please use Eligibility +Support.
Rebate reservations are being processed first come, first served and the process begins with an approved income verification. Available funding is limited and can be found on the TECH Public Reporting Budget Report.
The rebate reservation is not approved for your home until your HEEHRA-trained and TECH Clean California-certified contractor is told the reservation is approved. Projects installed before receiving an approved reservation are not eligible for HEEHRA rebates. Customers who have initiated or completed a heat pump HVAC installation are not eligible to submit an income verification application.
