​​​​LA Residential Water Heater Re​bate

Replace your existing water heater before it leaks with a high-efficiency model.

Eligible Tank Water Heaters

TIP: When shopping for a new water heater, be sure to look first at a model’s usage bin level, then the efficiency rating to ensure the model qualifies for a rebate. If not sure where to find this information, please ask your plumber or store representative.
