Roof and Attic Insulation Rebates in Los Angeles
Los Angeles utilities pay you back for installing a reflective cool roof and for adding attic insulation, and a new Class A roof can also lower what you pay for home insurance. What you qualify for depends on which utility serves your home.
What rebates can I get for a new roof or attic insulation in Los Angeles?

Can a new roof lower my home insurance, or keep me insured?
Staying insured
In California\'s fire-prone areas, the bigger issue is often staying insured at all. Insurers are non-renewing homes with old, worn, or fire-inappropriate roofs. An aging roof in a high-fire-risk area can get a policy declined or non-renewed, which can force the owner onto the California FAIR Plan, the state\'s insurer of last resort, where coverage usually costs more and covers less. A new Class A rated roof is the kind of upgrade that helps keep you eligible for standard-market coverage.
On premiums
California\'s Safer from Wildfires regulation requires insurers to offer discounts for wildfire mitigation, and a Class A roof is one of the highest-weighted measures. Homeowners can see discounts up to around 14.5% in the standard market, and up to about 24.5% in total hardening credits on the FAIR Plan. Actual discounts vary by carrier, so ask your insurer what your roof qualifies for.
