How much you get
Burbank runs its own municipal utility — it's not LADWP territory. Burbank Water & Power's Residential Building Electrification Rebate pays up to $1,000 per ton for a central or mini-split heat pump replacing gas HVAC (a 3-ton system nets about $3,000), with higher rebates for customers enrolled in BWP's low-income assistance programs (BUSS or Lifeline).

What you'll actually save each month
Rebates cover the upfront cost, but the real driver of whether this is worth it is your monthly savings on electricity. We looked for Burbank Water & Power's current residential rate and couldn't get a reliable current number: the rate table currently posted on their own site is explicitly dated "in effect as of July 1, 2024," and BWP's own rate-increases page confirms a 9.9% average electric increase took effect January 1, 2026 that isn't reflected in that table. Rather than publish a stale or unverified figure, check directly before doing the math yourself: Burbank Water & Power's rates page →.
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.

How to claim it
- Confirm your replacement system is AHRI-certified heat pump technology and is replacing existing gas-fueled HVAC
- If you're enrolled in BUSS or Lifeline, confirm your low-income rebate tier before installing
- Have the system installed by your contractor
- Check BWP's program page for current certification requirements and submission steps — these are confirmed directly with BWP or your contractor, not a fixed public timeline
