SACRAMENTO, California — Jetson Home is expanding operations across California as the state works toward its goal of installing six million heat pumps by 2030.
Jetson will launch operations in Sacramento, Burbank, San Jose, and the Inland Empire, expanding on its presence in Colorado, Massachusetts, and New York.
According to Jetson, the expansion is intended to address barriers that have slowed residential heat pump adoption, including upfront costs, installation complexity, and contractor availability.
The company said homeowners across California can purchase its all-electric heat pump system, Jetson Air, through a direct-to-consumer model. Jetson reports that its approach can reduce total project costs by 30% to 50% compared with traditional contractor installation models.
The California rollout includes the establishment of regional operational hubs to support installations, customer service, and ongoing maintenance. Jetson expects the expansion to create hundreds of jobs statewide, including positions for licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, warehouse personnel, and managers.
“California is one of the most important electrification markets in North America because homeowners are actively looking for alternatives to aging gas systems,” said Stephen Lake, CEO and co-founder of Jetson. “We’re seeing strong demand from homeowners who want to upgrade their home without the cost, hassle and uncertainty of legacy contractors. As we grow, our focus remains on making the switch to electric heating and cooling practical and affordable for more households."
Utility and municipal incentive programs are also expected to support adoption. According to the company, homeowners may qualify for rebates through organizations including Sacramento Municipal Utility District, Roseville Electric, Burbank Water and Power, San Jose Clean Energy, Silicon Valley Clean Energy, and Riverside Public Utilities.
Available incentives vary by market. In Sacramento, qualifying homeowners may receive up to $3,000 through Sacramento Municipal Utility District programs. Roseville Electric customers may qualify for up to $2,500 for gas-to-electric heat pump upgrades. Incentives in Burbank and surrounding Los Angeles-area markets can reach up to $5,000 for qualifying households, while programs in San Jose and Silicon Valley offer rebates ranging from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on eligibility requirements and project scope.
Jetson said its in-house teams manage system design, permitting, installation, rebate coordination, and ongoing service. The company also noted that the Jetson Air system is designed to work with existing ductwork and includes features such as energy monitoring, indoor air quality sensing, performance alerts, and software updates.
For HVAC contractors, the expansion reflects continued growth in the residential electrification market and increasing competition around heat pump installation, customer acquisition, and service delivery models.
According to Jetson, the company has upgraded more than 1,000 homes across North America to all-electric heating and cooling systems. The expansion follows a funding round exceeding $60 million and supports the company's broader plans to grow its heat pump business across North America.
