Incentive Resources

TECH incentives are now available for single-family HVAC projects throughout the state of California. HPWH incentives are still available in Southern California Gas territory. Additional statewide HPWH incentives will be available later this year.

Single-family:

HVAC

• $1,000 per outdoor condensing unit, available statewide.

HPWH

• In SoCal Gas territory, incentives are available for $3,100 or $1,000 for any HPWH installation —depending on gas or electric replacement, respectively.

Multi-family:

• Statewide HVAC and HPWH MF incentives are available as of June 13th. To see rates, please see this PDF.

The below programs offer incentives directly through the TECH Application Clearinghouse on the Iris Platform. This means that contractors do not need to apply for rebates in a separate location, streamlining their experience
