To apply for Tech Clean California heat pump rebates in 2026, you must partner with a tech-certified contractor like us. Because the program requires professional installation and specific training, we manage the complex paperwork on your behalf to ensure you do not forfeit your incentives.
Here is the process we follow to help you secure your savings:
- Initial Assessment and Documentation: We conduct a free home evaluation to measure your space, inspect ductwork, and verify that your property is an existing single-family home in San Francisco. During this time, you should gather proof of residency and a recent utility bill.
- Equipment Selection: We help you choose a qualifying heat pump system that meets the 2026 performance thresholds, such as a SEER rating of 16 or higher and an HSPF of at least 8.5.
- Rebate Assignment: Once you approve the installation quote, you sign a rebate assignment form. This allows us to file the application for you and apply the rebate amount as an instant discount at the time of sale, reducing your upfront costs.
- Professional Installation: As a tech-certified contractor with nearly three decades of experience in San Francisco, we perform the installation according to manufacturer specifications and local licensing requirements.
- Final Approval: After installation, a post-installation inspection is performed to verify the equipment meets all program requirements. We also provide you with copies of all related documentation for your records.
To further maximize your investment, these state-level incentives can often be combined with federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credits.
