[ 01 ] Project support
For qualifying heat pump installations and all-electric HVAC upgrades, 3rdGen can help homeowners understand available rebate and financing pathways. Rebates and financing should support the project, not define it. The goal is still a properly designed HVAC system that fits the home.
Approach
Rebate rejections often trace back to wrong equipment, missing Manual J documentation, or installs that do not meet program specs. We select qualifying equipment, retain load calc documentation, and provide paperwork for BayREN, federal credits, and lender packages — while keeping system design as the primary focus.
What's included
Incentives
For qualifying heat pump installations and all-electric HVAC upgrades, 3rdGen can help homeowners understand available rebate and financing pathways. Rebates and financing should support the project, not define it — with documentation built into design-build from the start.
Discuss a Residential ProjectRebate availability can change by location, utility, equipment type, program funding, and eligibility. Final approval is determined by the program administrator.
Equipment selections and installation documentation aligned to current heat pump rebate requirements.
Gas-to-electric conversion projects with rebate-ready Manual J and equipment documentation.
Guidance on utility-specific requirements and documentation for eligible scopes.
BayREN and regional program awareness built into design and equipment selection.
Eligibility guidance and documentation support for qualifying federal heat pump credits.
Load calculations, equipment specs, and install records organized for incentive applications.
Financing
HVAC upgrades are a major investment. Financing options through Synchrony may be available for qualified homeowners, helping spread the cost of eligible system replacements, heat pump upgrades, and larger design-build projects.
We start with your project scope — not a lender application. Share your goals, and we'll follow up with financing information or an approved application link after reviewing fit.

Process
01
Share location, timeline, plans if you have them, and what is not working today — or what your builder has scoped.
02
We use Manual J, S, and D where the project needs it to match equipment, ducts, and zoning to the actual house.
03
Principal-led field work with your GC or architect around access, finishes, sequencing, and clean rough-in.
04
System startup, basic orientation, and documentation so you know how the new system is meant to run.

FAQ
Yes — whole-home gas-to-electric conversions are a core part of our work. We size heat pumps for calculated heating and cooling loads, plan electrical capacity, and coordinate distribution — not a same-size swap based on your old furnace label.
Modern cold-climate heat pumps perform well in Bay Area winters and summers when sized with Manual J and installed with proper distribution. Coastal microclimates and inland heat spikes are why we engineer each home — not assume one product fits all.
We are Mitsubishi Electric specialists and design around the best technology for your home — ducted, ductless, or mixed layouts sized with Manual J/S/D, not rule-of-thumb equipment swaps.
Many Bay Area projects qualify for federal tax credits and local programs such as BayREN when equipment, sizing, and documentation meet current requirements. We design installs for program eligibility and provide documentation — we do not issue rebates or guarantee specific dollar amounts.
We are not a lender. We provide scope clarity, invoices, and installation documentation that support financing applications. Homeowners often use Synchrony or their own bank or credit union — we help you understand what paperwork your lender typically needs.
Yes. Permit, Title 24, and inspection coordination are part of our design-build scope — not a surprise add-on at the end. We retain load calc and equipment documentation your jurisdiction and rebate programs commonly require.
No. We focus on project-based residential HVAC — heat pump installations, full-system replacements, remodels, retrofits, new construction, and ADUs. We do not provide emergency repair, routine maintenance, tune-ups, filter changes, or small service calls.
