Low-income households (up to 80% of area median income) in a program focus community, in homes built before 2020 that heat space or water with gas, propane or another fossil fuel.
Auto Summary
The California Energy Commission's direct-install program gives low-income households a free heat pump for heating and cooling, a heat-pump water heater, or both, and sometimes an induction stove, insulation or an electrical panel upgrade. Nevada County is in the Northern region, run by the Association for Energy Affordability, but service goes community by community, with local outreach, so ask AEA whether your area is included (ebd@aeacleanenergy.org).
