Jetson Bringing Home Electrification Service to California
EXPANDING ELECTRIFICATION: The outdoor condensing unit of a Jetson Air residential heat pump system. The company behind the system, Jetson Home, is launching operations across California.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The home electrification company Jetson Home is launching operations across California, including in Sacramento, Burbank, San Jose, and the Inland Empire area.
The move is intended to help consumers overcome barriers to the state’s goal of having six million heat pumps installed by 2030, a Jetson press release said. Homeowners are facing rising energy costs, and despite strong policy momentum and expanding incentive programs, heat pump adoption remains slow due to high upfront costs, installation complexity, and limited contractor availability, the press release said.
Jetson’s expansion follows the company’s recent launch in New York and builds on its presence in Colorado; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Massachusetts. By entering California across multiple regions, Jetson is expanding its end-to-end installation model to make it easier for homeowners to purchase, install, and maintain heat pumps, the press release said.
Unlike traditional contractors, Jetson sells directly to homeowners. Jetson reduces costs by offering a modern online purchasing process, streamlined single-day installations by Jetson’s own teams, and a more modern product experience built with software and smarts at its core, the press release said.
“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."
Jetson will establish operational hubs in California to support installations, customer service, and ongoing system support. As operations ramp up, the company expects to create hundreds of jobs statewide, including for licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, warehouse workers, and management personnel, the press release said.
Utility-backed rebate programs will help accelerate residential electrification efforts in California. In Sacramento, for example, homeowners may qualify for up to $3,000 through SMUD (the Sacramento Municipal Utility District), while customers in the City of Roseville may qualify for up to $2,500 through Roseville Electric for gas-to-electric heat pump upgrades. In Burbank and surrounding Los Angeles-area markets, incentives of up to $5,000 are available for qualifying households. Jetson will help homeowners identify and navigate available incentives, reducing upfront project costs and simplifying the transition to electric heating and cooling systems.

Jetson sells its all-electric smart heat pump system, Jetson Air, directly to homeowners, reducing total project costs by 30% to 50%, the company said. Jetson’s crews manage the entire process, from system design and permitting to single-day installation, rebate coordination, and ongoing service.
The system itself heats and cools an entire home through existing ductwork and includes built-in smart features such as real-time energy monitoring, IAQ sensing, performance alerts, and over-the-air updates. To date, Jetson has upgraded more than 1,000 homes across North America to all-electric heating and cooling systems.
