TECH Clean California is a statewide initiative to accelerate the adoption of clean space and water heating technology across California homes, in order to meet its goal of being carbon-neutral by 2045. Tech Clean California provides market incentives for low-emissions heat pump heating and air conditioning and hot water heater technology for residential replacement projects. It was designed to support existing energy rebate programs through matched incentive funding, and to extend incentives not just in Novato, but statewide with an emphasis on access for low-income and disadvantaged communities.
This program is for individuals looking to include their entire home in their electrification project. In 2023, California Energy-Smart Homes will provide incentives to Novato households that are going fully electric.

Our philosophy is simple, we always want to maintain equipment to give it the longest life possible. Next, we want to focus on repairing when something goes wrong. Then only as the last choice, we replace equipment when needed. That’s the John Owens Way.
