How to apply
- Check your ZIP and project. Ask which equipment and upgrades qualify.
- Get a program eligibility code. Complete TECH Clean California’s customer verification. Send income documents only through the program’s secure verification process, not through our contact form.
- Get funding approval before installation. A participating San Fernando Valley contractor uses your code to request a reservation. The code alone does not reserve funds.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell whether my equipment qualifies?
Ask your contractor to check the exact equipment model, project dates, permit requirements, and utility enrollment. An eligible ZIP does not guarantee approval.
Can I apply if I rent, or if I own a condo or duplex?
Renters in eligible single-family homes can apply. Ask what the property owner needs to sign. Condos and duplexes fall under a separate multifamily program.
Can I combine rebates or include more than one upgrade?
Generally one incentive per eligible equipment type per home. Other incentives can be combined if program rules allow, but the total cannot exceed the project cost. Ask your contractor to list each rebate separately.
Can I get a panel rebate by itself?
No. Pair a qualifying panel upgrade or load management device with qualifying heat pump HVAC or a heat pump water heater.
Who reserves funds and when can work start?
A participating contractor requests the reservation. Wait for approval before installation. Ask who handles the permits, inspection, and final paperwork.
How will I receive my rebate?
For General Market, ask whether it comes as an invoice discount or a separate payment after the contractor receives program funds. Income-Qualified rebates must be upfront invoice discounts.
Do I need LADWP, SCE, or a specific electric rate?
No specific utility or time-of-use rate is required. Depending on your project:
- SCE + heat pump HVAC: Apply to the Smart Energy Program.
- SCE + heat pump water heater: Apply to SmartShift Rewards.
- LADWP + heat pump HVAC: Apply to Power Savers only if the new thermostat is compatible.
Tell your contractor who provides your electricity before choosing equipment.
Can I apply if I already signed a contract or started work?
For priority ZIP codes, contracts, invoices, permit opening dates, and installation start dates cannot be before November 2, 2026. Ask your contractor to check your dates before relying on a rebate.
How long do I have after funding is reserved?
The contractor generally has 120 days after reservation approval to finish installation and close the permit. Request an extension before the reservation expires if more time is needed.
Can I track my rebate?
Keep your Customer Eligibility Code for TECH Clean California’s tracking tool. Share the code with your participating contractor so they can request funding.
