San Fernando Valley Residential Incentives

For general market incentives, funding is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to specific communities within the Aliso Canyon area.

Income-qualified incentives will be prioritized for installations where full electrification is completed. Contractors and customers should not move forward with installations until the incentive approval has been granted.

The San Fernando Valley incentives are specifically for residents in the San Fernando Valley impacted by the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility, referred to as the Aliso Canyon priority communities. The goal is to electrify more homes and lessen the reliance on natural gas in this area.

Households that are within the priority communities - including Porter Ranch, Granada Hills, Northridge, Chatsworth, North Hills, Canoga Park, Reseda, Winnetka, West Hills, Van Nuys, and Lake Balboa.

Eligible Zip Codes: 91303, 91304, 91305, 91306, 91307, 91308, 91309, 91311, 91312, 91313, 91316, 91324, 91325, 91326, 91327, 91328, 91329, 91330, 91335, 91337, 91343, 91344, 91401, 91402, 91403, 91404, 91405, 91406, 91407, 91408, 91409, 91410, 91411, 91412, 91413, 91416, 91423, 91426, 91436.

In 2027, incentives will become available to the remaining areas of the San Fernando Valley (pending incentive availability).

TECH Clean California is upholding the directive of the legislation that created the program, Assembly Bill 157, which required prioritizing specific communities that were impacted by the Aliso Canyon Gas storage facility.

The eligible area for San Fernando Valley single-family incentives will expand; in 2027, incentives will become available to the remaining areas of the San Fernando Valley (pending incentive availability).

However, customers cannot receive more incentives than the project itself costs to complete.

Be sure to pay attention to the requirements of other incentive programs, as they may not align with those for TECH Clean California.

No – time-of-use enrollment is not required.

However, a new heat pump water heater or heat pump HVAC brings the most energy-efficient electric technology into a customer’s home. Now is a good time to review electric rate options and choose the best rate. This could make a big difference in how much is paid for electricity on a monthly basis.

For more information about time-of-use rates, please visit switchison.org/techcleanca/time-of-use-rates.

Customer enrollment requirements are dependent upon the equipment installed and the utility company, as shown below:

SoCal Edison (SCE) Customers:

Heat Pump Water Heater Installed – Customers are required to apply to SCE’s SmartShift Rewards.

Heat Pump HVAC Installed – Customers are required to apply to SCE’s Smart Energy Program.

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Customers:
