What PWP pays in 2026
PWP's rebates are for residential electric customers and funds are limited. We read its pages between September 28 and October 2, 2026. Each card names the fact with the date and a link to the source.
Heat pump
A 3-ton system is $510 at the base rate.
Heat pump water heater
For PWP residential customers.
EV charger
Amount depends on the charger type.
Smart thermostat
For eligible smart thermostats.
Ceiling insulation
$0.10 base plus $0.05 with a local contractor. Must reach R-30. One per property every 15 years.
Solar and battery pilot
Announced April 7, 2026, a pilot with limited funds.
Appliances
Our earlier $75, $25 and $90 appliance figures could not be confirmed on a public page.
Who PWP serves
PWP supplies electricity and water in Pasadena. Burbank, Glendale and Los Angeles have their own utilities, and much of the San Gabriel Valley is served by Southern California Edison. Check the name on your electric bill first, since a city address does not tell you which utility serves it. PWP's page notes that the Southern California Gas Company may have additional incentives. We did not read that page, so confirm any gas-side amount with SoCalGas.
Why the heat pump rebate is small
At $170 per ton, PWP's heat pump rebate is a fraction of what LADWP, Glendale or SMUD pay. A typical 3-ton system earns $510. That makes PWP's rebate a small credit rather than a deciding factor, so compare the equipment price and efficiency rather than chasing the rebate. The insulation rebate has a limit of one per property every 15 years, so use it once and do it well.
The solar and battery pilot
PWP's pilot pays $0.60 per watt for solar and up to $550 per kWh for batteries. It is a pilot with limited funds, which means it can close without notice. Reserve funds before you sign a contract, and ask the installer to confirm in writing that your system qualifies.
What PWP does not pay
We found no PWP cash rebate for windows. A wall insulation rebate exists, but we could not verify its amount. State and federal money is mostly out: TECH Clean California and the federal home electrification rebates are reserved or paused in 2026, and the federal 25C and 25D credits ended after 2025.
