Current HVAC Specials & Discounts

A note on HVAC "deals" before we list ours. The Southern California residential HVAC market is full of bait-and-switch advertising, "$49 tune-up" specials that turn into $480 invoices, "$19.95 service calls" that recommend $9,500 system replacements, "free estimates" that come with $185 "trip charges." We do not run any of that. Below is the actual standing list of our discounts, the rebates we process for you, and how each one works.

Free diagnostic with repair (standard policy)

Our diagnostic fee is $85, paid the day of the visit. If you approve the repair quote at the same visit, the $85 is applied toward the work. So a $320 capacitor replacement is $320 total: not $405. If you decline the quote and want to get a second opinion, you pay the $85 and owe nothing more. This is our standard policy on every diagnostic call, every day, no coupon code required. We do not offer "$19" or "$29" service calls because the math does not work for an honest 60–75 minute diagnostic visit at that price — the contractors who advertise that recover the cost in marked-up parts at the back end.

Senior discount — 10% off labor

10% off labor on any repair, maintenance, or installation visit for customers 65 and older. Applies automatically when you mention age at booking; we may ask for ID at the visit. Stacks with other promotions (first-time customer, maintenance plan member, etc.) up to 20% total maximum.

Veteran and active military discount — 10% off labor

10% off labor for current and former US military service members. Mention at booking; we ask for DD-214 or current military ID at the visit. Stacks with other promotions up to 20% total maximum. Eligible: active duty, reserves, National Guard, retired, and veterans with honorable or general discharge.

First-time customer discount — $50 off any repair

$50 off any repair invoice over $250 on your first service call with us. Applies automatically; mention "first-time customer" at booking. Does not apply to diagnostic-only visits or maintenance plans, but if your first visit results in repair work, the $50 comes off the invoice.

Annual maintenance plan — $189–$279/year

Our maintenance plans cover both the spring AC tune-up AND the fall furnace tune-up, the same two visits would cost $159–$189 each separately. Plans also include:

• Priority dispatch (you skip the queue during heat waves and cold snaps).
• 10–15% off any repair work.
• Annual filter delivery on most plan tiers.
• Documented maintenance records (required to keep most manufacturer warranties valid).

The math works for any household with both AC and furnace who would have paid for both seasonal tune-ups anyway. See maintenance plans for details, or read our spring AC tune-up guide.

LADWP heat pump rebate ($1,250–$2,500 per ton)

The single largest active 2026 incentive in the LA market. LADWP residential customers get $1,250 per ton on ducted heat pumps, $1,500–$2,500 per ton on ductless mini-splits. A 4-ton ductless install can earn $10,000 from LADWP alone. Application is homeowner-submitted at ladwp.com/crp; we hand you the documentation packet (itemized invoice, AHRI Certificate Reference Number, final permit) at job close-out. See the 2026 California HVAC rebates breakdown for the full landscape.

SoCalGas furnace rebate (up to $25 per kBtuh on 97%+ AFUE)

If you are replacing a gas furnace, the SoCalGas Home Energy Efficiency Rebate Program pays per-kBtuh by AFUE tier:

• 92–94% AFUE: $1.40 per kBtuh (~$112 on an 80,000 BTU furnace)
• 95–96% AFUE: $10 per kBtuh (~$800)
• 97%+ AFUE: $25 per kBtuh (~$2,000)

Active through December 31, 2026 or until funds deplete. Application is homeowner-submitted with our contractor certification on Section 5 of the form.

TECH Clean California rebates ($3,000–$8,000 per heat pump — currently waitlisted)

Not technically our discount, this is a state of California program funded by the California Public Utilities Commission. We are a registered TECH contractor and we submit the reservation as part of every qualifying project. Status as of May 2026: single-family heat pump HVAC funds were fully reserved on November 14, 2025; HEEHRA (income-qualified) was fully reserved on February 24, 2026. New reservations go on a waitlist with no committed reopen date. When funded, the rebate amounts:

• Standard income: $3,000 per qualifying heat pump install.
• Moderate income (80–150% AMI): $4,000.
• Qualifying low-income (<80% AMI): up to $8,000.

On multi-condenser installs (estate-scale homes, multi-zone VRF), the rebate stacks across each qualifying outdoor unit. Full breakdown and current status: TECH Clean California rebates.

Federal IRA Section 25C tax credit — terminated December 31, 2025

The federal Inflation Reduction Act Section 25C credit (30% of cost, capped at $2,000 per year for heat pumps and biomass stoves, $600 for high-efficiency central AC and gas furnaces, $150 for energy audits) was terminated by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed July 4, 2025, effective for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Equipment installed and operational on or before December 31, 2025 can still be claimed on a 2025 tax return at filing time in 2026 (Form 5695). New installs in 2026 are not eligible. Section 25D (the 30% solar credit) was also terminated on the same date. The IRS confirmed both in their 2025-08 FAQ and IR-2025-86.

Utility rebates (SCE, PWP, BWP, GWP)

Each utility outside LADWP runs its own residential efficiency rebates that change year to year. We pull the active programs at quote time and apply whichever you qualify for:

• SCE (Southern California Edison): residential heat pump rebates $300–$1,200 typical, plus TOU-D-PRIME enrollment incentive on heat-pump customers.
• Pasadena Water and Power (PWP), Burbank Water and Power (BWP), Glendale Water and Power (GWP): separate municipal utility programs — check each city directly. Amounts run lower than LADWP but still meaningful.
• SoCalGas furnace-removal incentive: applied when capping the gas line during a heat-pump conversion.

Financing specials — 0% promotional periods

Synchrony, GreenSky, and manufacturer financing programs (Carrier, Lennox, Trane) offer periodic 0% promotional financing, typically 12–18 months. We track active promotions and apply them when the timing aligns with your project. Important: 0% promotional financing is only useful if you can pay off the balance during the promo window, otherwise deferred interest accrues from day 1 of purchase. We will explain the math honestly. See financing options page for full detail.

How to redeem

1. Mention applicable discounts at booking. Senior, veteran, first-time customer should be claimed on the first call.
2. Bring documentation if requested. Senior ID, DD-214 / military ID, etc.
3. For rebates (LADWP, SoCalGas, SCE, TECH): we handle the contractor paperwork (AHRI Certificate Reference Number, itemized invoice, contractor certification on SoCalGas Section 5). You submit at the relevant utility portal with our packet. For TECH (currently waitlisted), we submit the reservation; you wait for funding-availability notification. Federal IRA 25C tax credit no longer applies for 2026 installs (terminated December 31, 2025).
4. Stacking limit: company discounts (senior + first-time, etc.) stack to a maximum of 20% off labor. Utility rebates stack on top of that without limit.
