From Spanish-style bungalows in Van Nuys to hillside homes in the Valley and mid-century houses across the Westside, Los Angeles has some of the most varied — and often aging — housing stock in the state. Older HVAC systems, thin attic insulation, and single-pane windows quietly drive up electricity and gas bills through LA's long, hot summers.
A free in-home energy assessment from a licensed local contractor shows you exactly where your home is losing energy and which upgrades — and rebate programs — make sense for your specific house.
LADWP rebates Los Angeles homeowners should know about in 2026
Most of Los Angeles is served by the LADWP (Los Angeles Department of Water and Power), which runs some of the largest residential efficiency rebate programs in the state:
- Up to $2,500 per ton for a qualifying heat pump HVAC system
- Up to $2,500 for a heat pump water heater
- Rebates for smart thermostats, attic insulation, cool roofing, and efficient windows
Good to know: LADWP rebate amounts, tiers, and funding change throughout the year, and some rebates require specific equipment efficiency ratings or a participating contractor. Your contractor confirms current eligibility and exact amounts for your address at the time of your assessment.
What your Los Angeles assessment can cover
- HVAC & heat pumps — right-sized systems built for LA's long cooling season
- Attic insulation — one of the highest-impact upgrades for older LA homes
