The Smart Choice for Modern Homeowners
Heat pumps are the future of home comfort. These innovative systems efficiently heat and cool your home by moving heat, rather than generating it.
Distinct from typical gas-powered appliances, heat pumps use electricity to transport heat from the outside atmosphere or soil into your residence during colder seasons, and switch the direction in warmer periods. This remarkable efficiency translates into decreased energy expenses and a diminished carbon footprint – a win-win for your pocketbook and the planet.

Rebates and Incentives
Federal Tax Credits
The federal government is backing your transition to cleaner energy with the Inflation Reduction Act's Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (EEHIC or 25C). This strong tax credit can cover up to 30% of the cost of your heat pump installation, with a maximum credit of $2,000.
State Rebates
The TECH Clean California program offers more rebates to make your heat pump upgrade even more affordable.
TECH Clean California rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Your contractor must also be a participating TECH Clean California partner. Further incentives may be available for low-income households or those in disadvantaged communities.
Local Rebates
Mountain View residents have access to substantial rebates for heat pump installations, thanks to Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE). These local rebates can be combined with federal and state incentives, possibly saving you thousands on your heat pump installation.
By using these incentives, Mountain View residents can take a big step towards energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions while enjoying the year-round comfort of a modern heat pump system.
