Heat Pump Water Heaters
Replace aging gas and electric water heaters with FREE high-efficiency Heat Pump Water Heater (HPWH) units that meet AQMD Rule 1146.2 requirements.
HPWH Measure Benefits Include:
- Pay nothing for equipment or installation
- Transition from gas to electric
- Modernize facilities
- Reduce carbon emissions
- Replace aging equipment
- Avoid emergency repairs
How HPWH Technology Works
HPWH technology efficiently pulls heat from the surrounding air, rather than generating it, to provide hot water. Please note that HPWH installation replaces gas consumption with efficient electric operation, resulting in lower gas bills and increased electric usage.

Interior & Exterior Lighting
Replace aging interior and exterior lighting with high-efficiency LED lighting upgrades designed to improve visibility, safety & energy performance.
Lighting Measure Benefits Include:
- Improved indoor & outdoor illumination quality
- Reduction in electricity consumption & operating costs
- Enhance safety, security & occupant comfort
- Modernized facility appearance — brighter, cleaner & more inviting spaces
- Lower environmental impact through reduced energy use & emissions
- Quieter environments — eliminating ballast hum and flicker common with older fixtures
How LED Lighting Technology Works
LED lighting uses advanced semiconductor technology to convert electricity directly into light, making it far more efficient than traditional incandescent, fluorescent, or HID lighting. Interior LED upgrades provide consistent, quiet, and high-quality illumination for offices, corridors, and common areas, while exterior LED lighting delivers reliable visibility for parking lots, walkways, and building perimeters. The result is brighter, more comfortable, and safer environments.
