What BWP pays in 2026
Each card links to a page with the rules and the local detail. BWP's electrification rebates need a licensed electrician, permits, an inspection, and at least one gas appliance replaced.
Two tiers: standard and income-qualified
BWP pays standard amounts to every customer and bigger ones to customers enrolled in the Burbank Utility Service Subsidy (BUSS) or Lifeline, and to certain affordable housing providers. A low-income customer can get up to $5,000 for a heat pump, $2,000 for an induction cooktop and $600 for a heat pump dryer. Enroll before you apply, and have the approval be within the past 18 months. If you qualify, check the assistance programs first, since they change the math more than any single product.
Rules that apply to the electrification rebates
New construction is excluded and at least one new item must replace a gas-powered equivalent. A licensed electrician does the work, obtains the permits, caps the gas line and passes an inspection from Burbank's Building and Safety Division. BWP also asks for before and after photos with nameplates, itemized invoices, proof of payment, a W-9 and the finaled permits. Applications go to BWPConservation@burbankca.gov, by mail, or in person at 164 W. Magnolia Boulevard.
How BWP compares nearby
Glendale pays $1,000 per ton up to $5,000 and $4,000 for a gas water heater swap (Glendale). Pasadena pays $170 per ton and $500 for a water heater (Pasadena). LADWP pays up to $2,500 per ton and up to $2,500 for a water heater (Los Angeles). BWP's standard amounts sit in the middle, and its low-income amounts are the largest of the four. Check your electric bill, because the utility named on it decides what you can claim.
What we did not find
BWP's pages list no solar or battery rebate and no windows rebate. We also found no electric range rebate, despite a $500 figure in some older notes, which we removed. BWP does not publish per-square-foot insulation amounts or per-model thermostat amounts on its pages, so we do not quote them. If you find a current BWP program we missed, tell us at hello@homepowerrebate.com.
Money that ended or is full
The federal 25C and 25D tax credits ended for spending after December 31, 2025. Statewide heat pump help from TECH Clean California and the federal HEEHRA program is fully reserved and takes new requests on hold only. BWP points customers to the Switch Is On California site for other incentives.
