Why Los Angeles Homeowners Are Looking at Heat Pumps

Because of California’s electrification goals, utilities and state programs have offered incentives to help homeowners upgrade to high-efficiency heat pumps. Each program has its own rules about whether it can be combined with another one. The programs covered below:

  • Local utility rebates (LADWP, Burbank Water & Power, Glendale Water & Power)
  • HEEHRA income-based rebates (currently closed)
  • Go Zero (single-family applications currently closed)
  • TECH Clean California incentives

LADWP Heat Pump Rebates (Los Angeles Department of Water & Power)

LADWP offers one of the simplest heat pump incentives:

LADWP Rebate Structure

  • Up to $1,250 per ton for ducted systems (including package units), based on efficiency rating. A typical 2 to 5 ton ducted system is about $2,000 to $6,250.
  • Up to $2,500 per ton for ductless mini-splits, based on efficiency rating
  • For equipment on or after November 1, 2025
  • Requires the AHRI certificate, a finaled permit, and a paid itemized invoice

Rebates are subject to program rules and funding.

Federal Tax Credit (Ended 12/31/2025)

The federal energy-efficient home improvement credit (Section 25C) offered up to $2,000 per year for qualified heat pump installations. It applied to property placed in service through December 31, 2025, and is no longer available for installations in 2026.

Burbank Water & Power Heat Pump Rebates

Burbank offers two rebate tiers based on income:

Standard Household Rebate

  • $1,000 per ton
  • Maximum $2,500 per unit

Low-Income Household Rebate

  • $1,000 per ton
  • Maximum $5,000 per unit

These rebates are issued through BWP. The new equipment must replace gas equipment, new construction is excluded, and funds are first-come, first-served and limited.

Glendale Water & Power Heat Pump Rebates

Glendale offers different rebates depending on whether you are replacing a heat pump or replacing gas equipment.

If Replacing an Existing Heat Pump:

  • $500 per ton

If Replacing a Gas System (Electrification Upgrade):

  • $1,000 per ton

Amounts are effective November 1, 2025. Rebates are first-come, first-served while program funds last, and the rebate cannot exceed the purchase price.

Go Zero (South Coast AQMD): Single-Family Applications Currently Closed

Go Zero offers upfront rebates for heat pump HVAC systems replacing gas or propane equipment. The program's published Phase 2 amounts, which are subject to change:

  • $500 per unit under 3 tons and $1,000 per unit over 3 tons in general areas
  • $1,000 per unit under 3 tons and $2,000 per unit over 3 tons in overburdened communities
  • Only available in certain map-defined zones

The single-family application portal closed on September 4, 2026 because of high demand. Phase 2 was approved on October 2, 2026, and a relaunch date has not been announced. For a system of exactly 3 tons, confirm the amount with the program.

Rebate Examples for a Typical 3-Ton System

These are illustrations only. Actual amounts depend on your equipment's efficiency rating, program rules, and available funding.

Example 1, LADWP Customer (Ducted System)

  • LADWP: about $3,000 to $3,750 ($1,000 to $1,250 per ton)

Example 2, Glendale Customer Replacing Gas

  • Glendale: $3,000 ($1,000 per ton)

Example 3, Burbank Customer (Standard Household, Replacing Gas)

  • BWP: $2,500 (the standard per-unit maximum)

How to Qualify for Heat Pump Rebates

Requirements vary by program. In general, your installation should:

Be Performed by a TECH-Certified Contractor (for TECH Clean California incentives)

Why TECH-Certified Contractors Are Required for TECH Clean California Incentives

Pass Program Verification

Programs may ask for documents such as the AHRI certificate, finaled permit, and paid invoice.
