Burbank Water & Power - Energy Solutions Business Rebate Program

May 10, 2024

Summary

Burbank Water and Power offers a rebate to business customers for installing energy efficient equipment in eligible facilities. The rebate is offered for a variety of energy efficient measures and technologies, including retrofits for:

  • lighting 
  • HVAC  
  • central heat pump units 
  • motor replacement 
  • thermal energy storage
  • PC network power management software  
  • custom made retrofits that fit program criteria

Complete rebate applications must be submitted within four months after the project completion date in order to be eligible for rebate consideration. After project completion, a final inspection and verification of the installation will be required prior to issuing a final rebate check. Rebates will be accommodated on a first come basis and limited annually to available funding of commercial programs. If replacing equipment that is no longer operational, rebates will be determined based on energy-savings exceeding Title 24 requirements. Please see the web site for full details.
