LADWP - Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program

LADWP's Consumer Rebate Program offers cash back for installing high-efficiency equipment like heat pump HVAC systems (up to $2,500 per ton), heat pump water heaters (up to $2,500 per unit), ENERGY STAR windows ($2 per sq ft), cool roofs ($0.20–$0.60 per sq ft), whole house fans ($200), and variable speed pool pumps ($500). To qualify, you must be an active LADWP residential customer and submit your application within 12 months of purchase and installation, with LADWP reserving the right to inspect your work before issuing the rebate.

The program creates customer demand for efficient equipment upgrades by offering substantial rebates that reduce homeowner out-of-pocket costs; contractors should highlight these incentives when proposing heat pump systems, high-SEER2/HSPF2 HVAC, or qualifying windows. You must provide itemized invoices with manufacturer details, AHRI or NFRC certification numbers, and proof of installation; for most equipment, a final approved Building and Safety Permit is required, and LADWP may inspect the installation before the customer receives their rebate check.

CRP is a rebate-based incentive funded and administered by LADWP to residential customers with active electric service; rebates vary by technology (e.g., heat pumps up to $2,500/ton as of November 1, 2025; cool roofs $0.20–$0.60/sq ft based on Solar Reflectance Index; windows $2/sq ft for U-Factor ≤0.30 and SHGC ≤0.25). Applications must be postmarked within 12 months of purchase, with documentation including paid invoices, certification certificates (AHRI, NFRC), and building permits; LADWP conducts pre-rebate inspections to verify installations meet minimum technical requirements and target energy-efficient products exceeding state and federal efficiency standards.
