Fire rebuilds · SoCalGas

Rebuilding? SoCalGas pays for better insulation.

SoCalGas pays per square foot for insulation above code on new homes rebuilt in 2025 fire zip codes: $2.30 to $3.00 per sq ft for ceilings above R-38 and $1.65 per sq ft for walls. The catch: you have to apply before construction starts, using the R-values on your Title 24 energy report.

The order that makes it pay

  1. Design: your energy consultant writes the higher R-values into the Title 24 report (CF-1R). We help pick insulation that hits them at the best cost.
  2. Apply: the application goes to SoCalGas before construction starts. SoCalGas holds the funds for up to 36 months.
  3. Build: after rough-in inspections, we install exactly what's on the report: spray foam, mineral wool, batts or blown-in.
  4. Verify and collect: insulation inspection and HERS verification where required, then the incentive is paid.

Common questions

Straight answers.

When do I have to apply?

Before construction starts. The application uses your Title 24 energy report (CF-1R), prepared by a certified energy analyst, showing the insulation R-values. What's on that approved report is what gets paid.

What does the home need?

It has to be a new home or ADU in a 2025 fire-area zip code with qualifying natural gas equipment. Building all-electric? LADWP's HOME LA program and SCE's programs may fit better. Ask us.

How much can it be worth?

Ceilings above R-38 pay $2.30 per sq ft, above R-44 $2.50 and above R-60 $3.00. Qualifying walls pay $1.65 per sq ft. On a typical 3,000 sq ft rebuild with upgraded ceilings and walls, that can reach five figures.

Does it cover multifamily rebuilds?

Yes, multifamily buildings in the fire zip codes can qualify too.
