"California also offers state incentive programs for specific regions and households, which your contractor can usually apply for on your behalf. You can enter your location and other information into the Switch Is On (check out their product and vetted vendor pages) and Rewiring America (they have a "savings calculator") to get a sense of existing opportunities and find a contractor."
"One of the biggest is TECH Clean California, which can cut thousands of dollars off the upfront cost of installing electric heat pump water heaters or heat pump HVAC systems. Funds are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's worth checking soon - reservations open periodically and often fill up within a few months."
"What federal tax incentives expire on Dec. 31, 2025? Up to $2,000 off new heat pump installations Up to $600 off electrical panel upgrades Up to $1,200 off home weatherization Up to $150 on a 'home energy audit' 30% off solar panels, geothermal heat pumps, solar water heaters and back-up batteries Which federal credits can I still get after Dec. 31, 2025? Up to $1,000 off EV charger installation"
Using gas in furnaces and water heaters produces more planet-warming emissions than electricity tied to California's greening grid. Gas appliances can emit pollutants indoors and degrade home air quality. California provides state incentive programs and online tools such as Switch Is On and Rewiring America to help homeowners find local incentives and vetted contractors. TECH Clean California can substantially lower upfront costs for electric heat pump water heaters and heat pump HVAC systems, but funds are limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Federal incentives expiring Dec. 31, 2025 include rebates and credits for heat pumps, panel upgrades, weatherization, audits, and 30% support for solar and geothermal; an EV charger credit remains available afterward.
