TECH Clean California officially kicked off its San Fernando Valley incentive campaign on July 31st with a training summit for nine community-based organizations (CBOs), marking the start of an outreach effort aimed at connecting residents and contractors in areas affected by the Aliso Canyon gas leak with new electrification funding.

Residents in the San Fernando area will soon have access to millions of dollars in new incentives to replace aging appliances and help home and building owners electrify. The CBOs selected to lead outreach in the region will play a critical role in connecting eligible residents and contractors with the program, helping ensure the community is aware of and able to take advantage of the funding as it becomes available.

“TECH Clean California incentives will help create healthier homes, lower energy costs, improve comfort, and support local job creation,” explains Evan Kamei, Program Director for TECH Clean California. “Through the dedication of local community-based organizations leading education and outreach efforts, this funding can help families live in homes that are cleaner, healthier, and more affordable.”

Contractor training for the San Fernando Valley Residential Incentives is already underway, and more than $30 million in incentives are expected to become available later this summer. Once launched, the program will help expand access to a range of electrification measures, including heat pump HVAC systems, heat pump water heaters, heat pump clothes dryers, and induction cooking equipment. Incentives will also be available for weatherization, remediation, panel upsizing, and other supporting home upgrades.

By pairing this equipment funding with trained community partners on the ground, TECH Clean California aims to make the transition to electrified homes more accessible for residents in the affected zip codes. As contractor training continues and the incentive funding moves closer to launch, the July 31st CBO training represents a foundational step in ensuring the program reaches the residents it was designed to serve.

Contractors interested in offering San Fernando Valley incentives should register for training. Current TECH Clean California contractors will need to go through the training and re-enroll. More information on the incentives and training can be found at techcleanca.com/sanfernandovalley.
