How to Qualify
To grab these savings, your project must meet a few specific LADWP requirements:
- Active Account: You must be an LADWP residential electric customer.
- Certified Equipment: Systems must meet AHRI efficiency standards.
- Permits & Pros: Must be professionally installed with a final city permit.
- Deadline: Applications must be submitted within 12 months of purchase.

Unlock Thousands in Savings with Rebates for Your HVAC System
If your HVAC system is aging, struggling in the summer, or costing more to keep running, rebates from The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) can help you upgrade and save thousands! The LADWP’s Consumer Rebate Program rewards homeowners who install high-efficiency HVAC systems. When more than one incentive applies, you can combine them to take a real bite out of the total cost and make a long overdue upgrade within reach.
But while savings can be significant, the rebate process has specific requirements. Equipment ratings, permits, invoices, and supporting documents all need to line up with LADWP rules. Air Comfort Experts helps make the upgrade and rebate process feel simpler by keeping the installation, permit steps, and rebate paperwork organized from the start.

LADWP Consumer Rebate Amounts for Qualifying HVAC Systems
LADWP rebates are tied to equipment type and efficiency thresholds.
- Heat pump HVAC rebates are among the largest incentives currently offered through the program. Qualifying heat pump HVAC systems may earn up to $2,500 per ton.
- Standard central air conditioning systems may qualify for smaller rebates, typically around $100 to $120 per ton depending on SEER2 efficiency levels.
- Heat pump water heaters may also qualify for rebates up to $2,500 per unit.
Because rebate funding is limited and handled on a first-come, first-served basis, Air Comfort Experts helps homeowners move through the process faster by keeping the install, permit steps, and rebate paperwork organized and ready to submit.
How LADWP Rebates Can Stack with Other Available Incentives
Many Greater Los Angeles homeowners pursue multiple incentives to reduce the cost of installing HVAC systems. LADWP rebates can be combined with certain federal tax credits and other programs, though important restrictions apply.
The ability to stack incentives depends on the electric utility serving the home, the equipment being installed, whether it meets all program requirements, and current funding availability.
| Program | Potential Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| LADWP Consumer Rebate Program (Heat Pump HVAC) | Up to $2,500 per ton | Amount depends on system efficiency ratings and LADWP service territory. |
| LADWP Central AC Rebate | Around $100–$120 per ton | Applies to qualifying central AC systems that meet efficiency thresholds. |
| GO ZERO (South Coast AQMD Heat Pump Incentive) | Typically $1,000–$2,000 per unit (up to $3,000 in some communities) | Supports replacing gas or propane heating equipment with electric heat pumps. |
| Pasadena Water & Power (PWP) Heat Pump Rebate | $170 per ton + $20 per ton local bonus | Applies to qualifying heat pump installations for PWP electric customers in Pasadena. |
| HEEHRA (Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates) | Up to $8,000 per unit (income-qualified) | For households <80% Area Median Income (AMI): up to $8,000 (100% of costs). For 80-150% AMI: up to $4,000 (50% of costs). |
Sample LADWP Rebate Calculation for a Typical System
Rebates are often calculated by system size in tons, which is common for residential HVAC equipment across Greater Los Angeles.
Below is a simplified example of how the LADWP rebate could apply:
| Incentive | Calculation | Estimated Value |
|---|---|---|
| LADWP Heat Pump Rebate | 3 tons × $2,500 per ton | $7,500 |
| HEEHRA Rebate | Up to 100% of qualified costs | Up to $8,000 |
| Total Potential Incentives | Combined savings opportunity | Up to $15,500 |
Actual rebate amounts depend on the installed system’s efficiency ratings, program funding, and LADWP review.
Eligibility Requirements Homeowners Must Meet
LADWP rebates apply only when the home is an active LADWP residential electric customer at the installation address.
Eligibility typically requires:
- An active LADWP residential electric account
- Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI)-certified equipment that meets minimum efficiency standards
- Professional installation
- A valid building permit and final approval from the LA Department of Building and Safety

A typical submission includes:

- A copy of page one of the LADWP bill
- A paid, itemized invoice listing manufacturer and model numbers
- An AHRI certificate confirming efficiency ratings
- A final approved building permit from LA Department of Building and Safety
