  • South Coast AQMD launching GO Zero pilot program
    A heat pump — a white box with a small grill covering a round opening with what appears to be a fan inside — is attached to the exterior of a house.
    Heat pumps require less energy to heat or cool a house.

    Topline:

    The South Coast Air Quality Management District launched a new pilot program to encourage people to switch to zero emission space and water heaters.

    What it does: The GO Zero program includes rebates for heat pump devices and incentives for replacing traditional gas furnaces, conventional gas or propane water heaters. Rebates are available for residents and small businesses in L.A. Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

    How much it covers: Rebates range between $1,000 and $2,000 per heat pump, up to $3,000 for homes in so-called "overburdened" communities with high amounts of pollution but low population numbers and $4,000 for small businesses.
