Multifamily Incentives
With 50% of Californians living in multifamily buildings, there is great opportunity to bring the benefits of healthier homes and clean energy to these residents. Yet, switching to heat pumps for space and water heating requires adopting new technologies, which may be unfamiliar to property owners, designers, or MEPS. Capital costs and electrical infrastructure needs can create additional challenges.
TECH Clean California offers incentives, technical assistance, and training to address barriers associated with electrification and energy efficiency upgrades in multifamily properties.
As of April 11, 2025, Multifamily HEEHRA rebate pre-applications are being processed as well and funding remains available in all regions for multifamily projects. Watch for a separate announcement on multifamily HEEHRA rebates coming soon.
Currently, TECH Clean California standard and small multifamily heat pump water heater incentives (both central and unitary) submitted for reservation will be placed on a waitlist and reviewed as budget becomes available.
