What you'll actually save each month
Rebates cover the upfront cost, but the number that decides whether this is worth it is the payback period — how long until the monthly savings pay back what you spent out of pocket. Here's the real math using SCE's current rate:
- SCE electricity (2026): roughly 34.5¢/kWh average (33.2¢ with the Climate Credit applied), though time-of-use plans can range from ~24¢/kWh off-peak to ~58¢/kWh on-peak in summer. (Check current SCE rates →)
A modern cold-climate heat pump typically moves 2.5–3.5 units of heat per unit of electricity it uses (its "coefficient of performance"), which is why it beats electric resistance heating on cost even at this rate. Comparing against a gas furnace depends on your home's insulation, size, and current gas rate — there's no single number that's honest for every house.
