How much you get
There's no flat dollar rebate for a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV) from LADWP in Long Beach the way there is for a heat pump or water heater. Ventilation equipment simply isn't a category LADWP funds in its residential rebate catalog right now.
Long Beach's port and refinery-adjacent air quality is a genuine, documented concern for a lot of neighborhoods here, which is a more concrete reason to look at mechanical ventilation than in most California cities.
It's also worth ruling out the two programs homeowners sometimes assume cover this. TECH Clean California funds heat pump HVAC and heat pump water heater installs, not ventilation equipment — and as of late 2025 its single-family heat pump incentives were fully reserved anyway. And the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), which used to cover 30% of some efficiency upgrades, expired December 31, 2025; even while it was active, it never listed HRVs or ERVs among qualifying equipment. So for now, an HRV or ERV in Long Beach is an out-of-pocket upgrade.

Common questions
Is there a Long Beach HRV incentive given the port air quality concerns?
Not currently. Despite Long Beach's documented air-quality challenges, no utility, state, or federal program pays toward residential HRV or ERV equipment as of 2026.
What should a Long Beach homeowner do instead of waiting for an HRV rebate?
Treat it as a straight equipment-and-install cost, price a few local installers, and fold it into a broader retrofit plan rather than delaying for a rebate that doesn't currently exist. See our general guide to HRV and ERV systems for how the equipment works and what it costs.
