The Home LA Pilot program offers incentives for single-family houses up to $ 10,000
The city of Los Angeles presented a new initiative on Wednesday to support the forest fires that were devastating in January, which offered financial incentives for the construction of energy -efficient, purely electrical residences.
The high-performance-optimized, optimized, modern electrification for the la pilot program in Los Angeles (LADWP), managed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), offers incentives for single-family houses of up to $ 10,000 for single-family houses, which with all-electric HVAC systems, hot water preparations, cooking equipment and Lashing dryers are equipped. An additional bonus of $ 5,000 is available for installing a battery with a whole home.
The program is aimed at the owners, which are rebuilt according to the forest fires of the Palisades, Hurst, Kenneth, Archer and sunset. Appropriate participants can choose between two tracks: all-house electrification that offers bundled incentives of $ 5,000 to $ 10,000 based on the living space for fully electrical systems and bonuses with $ 5,000 for batteries throughout the house or $ 3,000 for ultra-lower global warming potential heat pump warm water. Or Home La Express, which delivers independent discounts, including up to $ 2,500 per ton for heat pumps -HLK systems, $ 2,500 per unit for heat pump warm water and 225 to 1,000 US dollars for cooking tops, areas, wall furnaces and electrical dryers.
“This program is about rebuilding stronger, more environmentally friendly and more resistant communities,” said Mayor Karen Bass in a statement. “Home LA enables residents to create sustainable houses and to recover from these tragic forest fires.”
The initiative is currently limited to those that are being converted in the affected areas, and there is plans for expansion when more funds are available. In order to help applicants, LADWP will organize virtual workshops on August 28th and 11th September at 7 p.m. to explain the program and its advantages.
