The LADWP Consumer Rebate Program offers up to $2,500 per ton for qualifying central heat pump HVAC systems installed by a licensed contractor. The rebate applies to central, split, mini-split, and multi-split heat pump systems based on SEER2 and HSPF2 efficiency ratings. Installations completed after November 1, 2025, are eligible, and applications must be submitted within 12 months of installation.
How Much Can You Save?
Savings scale with the size of your heat pump system. Here is how the rebate breaks down for typical home sizes:

Why Install a Heat Pump in Los Angeles?
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one efficient system. In Los Angeles, where winters are mild and summers are hot, a heat pump can replace both your old air conditioner and gas furnace. Heat pumps use electricity to move heat rather than burning fuel, which makes them cleaner and often less expensive to operate than traditional gas heating. Because the climate is ideal for heat pumps, LA homeowners can see strong year-round efficiency.
Types of Heat Pump Systems
Upright installs several types of heat pump systems, depending on your home and goals:
- Central ducted heat pumps replace a traditional furnace and AC and use existing ductwork.
- Ductless mini-splits are ideal for homes without ducts, room additions, garages, and ADUs.
- Multi-zone mini-splits allow you to control temperatures in different rooms independently.
- Cold-climate heat pumps provide efficient heating even on the coldest Valley nights.

Heat Pump Financing Options
Even with rebates and tax credits, a heat pump installation is a significant investment. Upright offers flexible financing options to make the project affordable. Combined with lower monthly utility bills, many homeowners find that a heat pump pays for itself over time. We provide a written quote with all costs and available incentives included so there are no surprises.
What Happens After the Rebate Is Approved
Once LADWP approves your application, the rebate payment is sent directly to you. The rebate does not reduce the installation cost upfront, but it is a significant refund after installation. We can help you time your project and financing to account for the rebate payment schedule. Upright keeps copies of all documentation for your records.
Heat Pump Maintenance Requirements
Heat pumps require maintenance twice a year because they both heat and cool. Regular maintenance keeps efficiency high, extends equipment life, and protects your warranty. Upright offers maintenance plans that include tune-ups, priority scheduling, and repair discounts for heat pump systems.
Heat Pump Installation Timeline
Most heat pump installations are completed in one to two days. Before installation, we perform a Manual-J load calculation and inspect your ductwork and electrical panel. We pull permits, install the equipment, test the system, and walk you through operation and maintenance. We also register the warranty and provide documentation for your rebate application.
