Anyone searching for insulation rebates Long Beach California homeowners can use has two utilities to check: the city's own natural gas utility and Southern California Edison (SCE). DuloCore checked on October 13, 2026 and read the official pages of both, plus the state weatherization program.
Are There Insulation Rebates in Long Beach in 2026?
Not from the city gas utility. On October 13, 2026, the Long Beach Utilities gas rebate page listed only natural gas appliances. SCE's Home Performance Plus listed $1.07 per square foot for attic insulation and $1.06 for wall insulation in qualifying homes.
| Source | What its official page states (October 13, 2026) | Insulation amount |
|---|---|---|
| Long Beach Utilities gas rebates | Natural gas appliances only | None listed |
| Long Beach Utilities Direct Install | Water heater pipe insulation | No cost |
| SCE rebates page | No insulation rebate | None listed |
| Home Performance Plus (SCE) | Attic and wall insulation rebates | $1.07 and $1.06 per sq. ft. |
| SCE Energy Savings Assistance | Weatherization services; insulation not named | None stated |
| State weatherization program | Checking that the home is properly insulated | No amount stated |
Long Beach has this split because the city runs its own gas service. Long Beach Utilities says it delivers natural gas, water and sewer service, and the City's Who Do I Call? directory lists SCE for turning electricity on or off.
Does Long Beach Utilities Offer an Insulation Rebate?
No. On October 13, 2026, its gas rebate page and its 2026 rebate application listed natural gas appliances and no home insulation.
DuloCore read the Long Beach Utilities Gas Rebates and Incentives page in full. Its list covers ovens and wall ovens, a clothes dryer, tankless and storage water heaters, a fireplace insert, a pool heater, a furnace and a patio heater. The word insulation does not appear on the page or in the 2026 application it links. The page says the program is for appliances purchased in 2026 only, with applications postmarked no later than December 31, 2026.
The one mention of insulation on the utility's pages DuloCore read is small. Its free Direct Install Appliances Program lists water heater pipe insulation alongside toilets, shower heads and faucet aerators. It names no attic or wall insulation. For the furnace rebate on the gas rebates list, see DuloCore's Long Beach HVAC rebates page.
What Does SCE Pay for Insulation at a Long Beach Address?
SCE's own rebates page lists no insulation rebate. Its Home Performance Plus program lists attic and wall insulation rebates for qualifying homes.
SCE's rebates page says Home Performance Plus is for SCE residential electric customers who rent or own a single-family detached home, or a unit in a building with a maximum of four units, within Disadvantaged or Low-Income communities.
The Home Performance Plus rebates page lists:
- Attic insulation, $1.07 per sq. ft. It must be loose, blown-in insulation or batts made of fiberglass, cellulose or mineral wool.
- Wall insulation, $1.06 per sq. ft. It must be blown-in, loose-fill fiberglass, cellulose or rock wool.
- Home conditions. Both rebates are limited to homes under 3,000 square feet with central air conditioning and a gas furnace, a central heat pump, or electric heat with no cooling.
Neither page names the communities or says how to check a Long Beach address. The program's page tells customers to book an appointment with an Energy Advisor, and SCE's page says the program includes a no-cost energy assessment of the home. The SCE insulation rebates page covers the program in more detail.
Can a Long Beach Household Get Insulation Help at No Cost?
Possibly. SCE's Energy Savings Assistance lists weatherization services for income-qualified households, and the state weatherization program lists checking that a home is properly insulated.
SCE's Energy Savings Assistance page lists weatherization services among upgrades owners and renters may receive free, but its list does not name insulation. The income limit is 250% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines. From June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2027 that is $39,900 for one person and $82,500 for a household of four. SCE says services may not be available in all areas.
The California Department of Community Services and Development's Weatherization Assistance Program page says local service providers install weatherization measures for low-income homeowners and renters. It states no income figure and directs eligibility questions to the county's local service provider. The eligibility check gives an estimate of programs a household may qualify for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Southern California Gas Insulation Offers Apply in Long Beach?
None of the official pages DuloCore read says so. The SoCalGas Energy Savings Assistance page lists attic insulation among its no-cost home improvements and does not mention Long Beach. Long Beach Utilities says it delivers natural gas in the city, so ask SoCalGas before counting on it.
Did the Federal Tax Credit for Insulation End?
Yes. The federal 25C credit that covered insulation ended for property placed in service after December 31, 2025, as DuloCore's page on the federal home energy credits that ended explains.
How Do I Start a Home Performance Plus Insulation Rebate?
The program's page tells customers with a qualifying project to find a Home Performance Plus Trade Ally, or to book an appointment with an Energy Advisor.
