SoCal Expands Rebate Program for Gas-to-Electric Heat Pump Switch by $60.2M
Diamond Bar, Calif. – October 02, 2026 -- The South Coast Air Quality Management District Governing Board has approved $60.2 million in additional funding for its GO ZERO Incentive Program, which pays homeowners and small businesses to swap gas furnaces and water heaters for zero-emission heat pumps.
The expansion follows a $21 million pilot launched in September 2025 that helped more than 3,000 single-family homes and 700 multifamily units switch from gas to electric systems. Multifamily funding was fully reserved within two weeks of launch, and single-family funding ran out in under six months.
New funding splits $60.2 million across three pools
The expanded program allocates $20 million each to single-family and multifamily rebates, with another $20 million distributed to either category based on demand.
