A new heat pump rebate opened in the San Fernando Valley on November 2, 2026. It is a $20 million budget of single-family incentives for residents affected by the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility. TECH Clean California, which runs it, says its statewide single-family heat pump HVAC and water heater incentives have been fully reserved since November 14, 2025.

What Is the San Fernando Valley Heat Pump Rebate?
It is a $20 million incentive program for residents affected by Aliso Canyon. It opened to homeowners on November 2, 2026 and runs through December 31, 2029, while funds last.
The San Fernando Valley incentives page describes $20 million of single-family incentives for residents affected by the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility. The neighborhoods it names are Porter Ranch, Granada Hills, Northridge, Chatsworth, North Hills, Canoga Park, Reseda, Winnetka, West Hills, Van Nuys and Lake Balboa. The page, which carries no date, says the remaining areas of the San Fernando Valley territory may follow later next year, pending availability.
The program announced on October 22, 2026 that contractor enrollment is open. The program's official incentives claims portal lists a start date of November 2, 2026 and a stop date of December 31, 2029 for the San Fernando Valley incentives.

How Much Will the Rebates Pay?
Market-rate homes can get $2,000 to $5,000 for heat pump heating and cooling. Income-qualified homes can get $4,500 to $17,000 for heat pump heating and cooling plus weatherization.
The program page lists two budgets of $10 million each. Market rate means at or above 80% of area median income (AMI). Income-qualified means below 80% AMI.
| Equipment (program page, Nov 2, 2026) | Market rate | Income-qualified |
|---|---|---|
| Heat pump heating and cooling (air-source and air-to-water) | $2,000 to $5,000 | $4,500 to $17,000, with weatherization |
| Heat pump water heater | $2,000 to $3,500 | $3,500 to $5,000 |
| Load management device and electric panel replacement | $500 / $2,000 | $500 / $2,000 |
| Heat pump clothes dryer | Not listed | $1,300 to $1,800 |
| Induction cooktops and ranges | Not listed | $1,500 to $4,500 |
A service line upgrade on the utility side of the meter is decided case by case under both budgets. The page lists remediation the same way for income-qualified homes. The page does not say how the amount within each range is set.
How Does the $31,800 Aliso Canyon Rebate Total Add Up?
For a Porter Ranch or other priority-ZIP household, $31,800 is the sum of every income-qualified maximum in the San Fernando Valley program's FAQ table. A home reaches that total only by installing all seven measures at the top income-qualified amount. The $31,800 isn't a single check.
The Associated Press reported on November 2, 2026: "Income-qualified residents affected by the Aliso leak are eligible for up to $31,800 worth of incentive funding to help switch from gas to electric appliances and heating and cooling living spaces." The figure equals the top of each income-qualified range in the FAQ table on TECH Clean California's San Fernando Valley page, read on November 8, 2026:
| Measure (program FAQ table) | Income-qualified range | Maximum counted |
|---|---|---|
| Heat Pump HVAC | $4,500 - $14,000 | $14,000 |
| Heat Pump Water Heater | $3,500 - $5,000 | $5,000 |
| Induction Cooktop and Range | $1,500 - $4,000 | $4,000 |
| Heat Pump Clothes Dryer | $1,300 - $1,800 | $1,800 |
| Load Management Device | $500 | $500 |
| Panel Upsizing | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Weatherization | $1,500 - $4,500 | $4,500 |
| Total of the maximums | $31,800 |
Most homes will get less than the total:
- The program page says "Incentives are limited to one incentive per equipment type per home." Most ranges start well below their maximum, and the page doesn't say how the amount within a range is set.
- The load management and panel incentives are offered only together with a heat pump HVAC system or a heat pump water heater.
- For income-qualified homes, the contractor takes the incentive off the invoice as an upfront discount. No check goes to the household.
- Incentives can't add up to more than the project costs, and the program counts other rebates first.
The same page gives two different tables. The main table lists "Induction Cooktops and Ranges" at $1,500 – $4,500 and combines heat pump HVAC and weatherization at $4,500 – $17,000. The FAQ table lists induction at $1,500 - $4,000, and heat pump HVAC (up to $14,000) and weatherization (up to $4,500) as separate lines. The $31,800 total uses the FAQ table. The FAQ table also lists a $500 "Full electrification contractor incentive", which isn't part of the total.
