GOLETA, CA, May 5, 2026 – Interested in adopting new, cleaner, efficient technology in your home? Goleta is making that easier for you with its new Heat Pump Permit Fee Waiver Program. This pilot program just started and will run until funds are exhausted. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity if you live in a single or multi-family residence to replace your natural gas space or water heating unit with an electric heat pump.
To learn more, join us for the Electrify Goleta Lunch & Learn on May 20 at noon. Hear directly from the City’s Sustainability team about the features of heat pumps and the benefits of electrification. You’ll also hear from representatives of Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) and the Tri-County Regional Energy Network (3C-REN) about the different financial incentives they provide to make it easier to electrify, with a Q&A session at the end.
