Jetson Home unveiled that it is expanding operations into another U.S. state.
The Vancouver-born clean energy innovator announced this week that it is broadening operations into California, which boasts a population roughly equal to all of Canada.
Founded in 2024, Jetson sells its heat pump technology directly to homeowners, using a similar to how Tesla sells vehicles.
The B.C.-based upstart believes this vertically integrated model allows it to keep costs down and also enables a simpler purchase and installation process.
California is “one of the most important electrification markets in North America,” according to Jetson cofounder Stephen Lake, because “homeowners are actively looking for alternatives to aging gas systems.”
California aims to install six million heat pumps by 2030.
Yet despite strong policy momentum and expanding incentive programs, adoption remains slow due, Lake notes, which he reasons is due to high upfront costs, installation complexity, and limited contractor availability.
“We’re seeing strong demand from homeowners who want to upgrade their home without the cost, hassle, and uncertainty of legacy contractors,” says Lake, who serves his startup as chief executive officer.
The launch in California will include the opening of local operational hubs in Sacramento, Burbank, San Jose, and the Inland Empire.
The expansion follows a recent launch in New York and builds on market presence in Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Vancouver, and Massachusetts.
Jetson’s expansion into the U.S. is powered by a $50 million round secured earlier this year from Eclipse, 8VC, Activate Capital, Garage Capital, and Active Impact.
“As we grow, our focus remains on making the switch to electric heating and cooling practical and affordable for more households,” commented Lake, who in 2025 was named to the TIME100 Climate—the same year that Jetson Air was named one of the World’s Best Inventions.
