Heat pumps are transforming how homes across the state stay comfortable—delivering efficient heating and cooling while supporting a cleaner energy future. From new construction to home upgrades, these modern electric appliances are becoming increasingly common in communities throughout California.

During Heat Pump Week (April 11–19, 2026), organizations and communities statewide will highlight this growing momentum and encourage more households to explore the benefits of heat pumps.

A key driver of this effort is California’s newest awareness campaign, led by the California Heat Pump Partnership. Designed to accelerate adoption, the campaign supports a statewide goal of installing 6 million heat pumps by 2030.
