1. Contact a Participating Contractor and Review Available Rebates

Choose a participating HVAC contractor that employs skilled and trained SMART Local Union No. 104 technicians and serves Ventura County. Your contractor can help you select qualifying equipment and review the rebates that may be available for your project.

Available rebates include:

• Up to $2,500 for a qualifying central heat pump HVAC installation

• Up to $650 for a qualifying one-zone mini-split system

• $200 for each additional mini-split zone (up to 3 zones)

• Up to $3,300 total per qualifying residence

Rebates may also be combined with other available incentives, including 3C-REN incentives, TECH Clean California incentives, and other rebates available at the time of installation.

Final eligibility, rebate amounts, and funding availability must be confirmed before installation.

2. Confirm Your Eligibility

Your contractor will verify that you qualify for the program by confirming:

• You are a Clean Power Alliance (CPA) customer in Ventura County. To determine if you are a CPA customer, check your most recent electricity bill from Southern California Edison (SCE). If CPA is your electricity provider, you will see charges from them on your bill, labeled as "supply/generation” charges, typically found on the last pages of your bill. If you are unsure, you can contact CPA directly by calling 888.585.3788 or emailing customerservice@cleanpoweralliance.org, or chatting with a representative online. Here on CPA’s website, you can find a sample customer bill. On the top left of the first bill page is the customer account number and on the last page in the top right you can see the large text that says "Clean Power Alliance supplies your electricity."

• Program participants must be current customers of the Clean Power Alliance (CPA) [at the address enrolled in the program] and must remain CPA customers [at the address enrolled in the program] throughout the term of their participation in the program.

• Your project and equipment meet the program requirements

• Program funding is still available

3. Have Your New Heat Pump Installed

Your qualifying heat pump system will be installed by skilled and trained SMART Local Union No. 104 technicians to help ensure quality workmanship, safety, and reliable performance.

4. Submit Your Rebate Application

Within 45 days of your installation completion date, submit:

• Your completed rebate application

• A detailed installation invoice

Your contractor will complete the required contractor sections before you submit your application.

5. Receive Your Rebate Upon Project Completion

Once your project and rebate application requirements are complete, your participating contractor will apply the approved rebate directly to your installation cost. This reduces the amount you pay and eliminates the need to wait for a reimbursement check.

6. Enjoy Efficient Heating and Cooling

Once your installation is complete, you'll enjoy energy-efficient heating and cooling installed by trained professionals, helping improve home comfort while supporting cleaner energy use.
