Don’t Miss the Feb. 8 Webinar:
“Financing for Heat Pumps and Electric Measures”

As you may have heard, TECH Clean California has received $50 million to incentivize California residents to install heat pump HVACs and heat pump water heaters in their homes as part of the state’s push toward decarbonization. Rebates and other incentives will be available starting early this year — so now’s the time to get up to speed on how to access them!

On Feb. 8, TECH staff will show you how to do just that with a free webinar. They’ll be joined online by GoGreen Home staff, who will show you how easily these heat pump incentives can be combined with GoGreen Home for big-time savings that benefit customers and contractors alike.

A contractor in Martinez asked: “I keep hearing about new federal tax credits for energy efficiency projects. What’s the story?”

GoGreen Home: The new year brings the launch of the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit that was approved as part of the Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022. As of January 1, 2023, your customers can take advantage of these tax credits for qualified product installations. These credits can incentivize customers to invest in energy efficient equipment and retrofits and help you sell more jobs.
