Local rebate and reach-code guides
Place-specific HVAC and electrification notes for Hanford, Clovis, and Palo Alto — rebates, ADU mini-splits, and reach codes with verify-before-install discipline.

Hanford heat pump rebates: Central Valley reality check
Hanford and surrounding Kings County homes are typically on PG&E — not San José Clean Energy or SVCE. That means EcoHome $1,500/$2,500 framing does not automatically transfer. Plan heat pump projects around PG&E and statewide/regional programs that are actually open, plus On-Bill Financing when it fits. Verify every dollar on the administrator’s site before install; Precision helps with sequencing from our Central Valley routes.

Clovis ADU mini-splits: sized for valley heat, scoped for real lots
Clovis ADUs face Central Valley peak cooling, cold mornings, and lot layouts that often favor ductless heat pumps over long duct extensions from the main house. The decision framework matches our San Jose ADU cost page — load, line-set, electrical, Title 24 — but rebate lanes differ because Clovis is not SJCE territory. Plan equipment for climate first; verify incentives second.

Palo Alto heat pumps and reach code: plan electrification before the rough-in
Palo Alto has been a leader in local electrification and reach-code style requirements that can push new construction and major alterations toward heat pumps and away from new gas appliances. Exact applicability depends on project type, permit date, and the City’s current energy ordinance — always verify with Palo Alto Development Services / the AHJ. Practically, homeowners and GCs should assume heat pump HVAC (and often HPWH) early, size electrical panels for the load, and align Title 24 documentation with the chosen path.
