Local contractors replacing gas with heat pump water heaters and supporting California’s clean energy goals.
MCE’s Emergency Water Heater Incentive provides contractors $1,500 to help cover the cost of installing and maintaining a temporary loaner water heater (gas or electric) as part of the customer’s permanent heat pump water heater (HPWH) installation.
As more households move toward environmentally-friendly options and the Bay Area passes new regulations to support California’s clean energy goals, your clients will need to start replacing gas appliances with electric when their old equipment breaks down.
Contractors must be an active, current participant in TECH Clean California.
Note: To register with TECH Clean California, you must possess a valid CSLB license (B, C-36, C-20, C-20+C10, or C-36+C10).

No, this program is for installation of temporary water heater loaners, combined with a permanent heat pump water heater installation only. Contractors must show proof of installation of an interim “loaner” water heater and then a permanent heat pump water heater.

I recommend getting a rebate from MCE. I just love my car – it’s fast and a better driving car. I love the way it maneuvers. It’s really easy to charge. With all the assistance MCE gives you, it’s a great deal and well worth it!”
