TECH Clean California is a statewide initiative designed to make the installation of clean space and water heating technology easier and more affordable for Californians. TECH Clean California provides heat pump water heater and heat pump HVAC incentives to TECH-enrolled contractors, who in turn, offer highly efficient equipment to customers at a discount.

TECH Clean California Heat Pump Single Family Equity Incentives

Higher incentives for single family heat pump HVAC and heat pump water heater installations are available for residential households that meet low-income requirements. Incentives start at $3,500, with additional incentives available depending on the status of prior equipment in the home, equipment type, and equipment installed.

To receive single family equity incentives, a household’s income must be verified through this portal to confirm eligibility, OR the household must have had their income verified recently from the TECH heat pump water heater program, HEEHRA Phase 1, or another qualifying technology incentive program (in which case your contractor should be aware). Please contact your previous contractor directly to confirm.

If the residence is occupied by a tenant but the project is being paid for by a property owner/manager, THE TENANT should complete the income verification, and THE PROPERTY OWNER should be on the invoice and listed as the customer on the reservation request & claim.

Before proceeding with the verification application, please check if you are eligible for the equity incentives.

Enter your county and household size below to view the maximum income to be eligible. Income verification is based on the gross annual income for all adults (ages 18+) living in the dwelling unit/household before any taxes or other deductions are applied.

The following information is required to complete the TECH Clean California Income Verification application:

• Email address of your TECH Clean California contractor
• Income documents for all adults in the household. Check the income guidelines for your county HERE. Check income documentation requirements and acceptable types of income documentation HERE.

Please complete this application only if you’ve decided to move forward with the heat pump water heater and/or HVAC installation. If you are unsure, please do not submit this form.
