Technology and Equipment for Clean Heating (TECH) Initiative
Administered by: Energy Solutions
Quick Summary
TECH Initiative rebates can reduce your cost to install heat pump HVAC systems or water heaters in California, but availability is extremely limited—single-family heat pump HVAC and water heater incentives are now fully reserved statewide as of early 2025. If you receive a TECH incentive, you must enroll in a demand response program, and for heat pump water heaters you must also join a time-of-use rate plan and water heater rewards program where available. Work with a TECH-trained contractor to check eligibility and apply before funding runs out.
