We Navigate Utility Rebate Programs So You Don’t Have To
Planet Optima works with Southern California utilities to deliver building upgrades at zero cost to property owners and managers. We handle everything — eligibility, paperwork, scheduling, installation, and rebate processing.
Utility-Funded Building Upgrades — We Handle Everything
Every service we offer is facilitated through utility rebate programs. You pay nothing or near-nothing. We manage the entire process.
Water Conservation
High-efficiency toilet upgrades, aerator replacements, showerhead retrofits, shut-off valves, and auto-diverting tub spouts — all utility-funded.
Energy Efficiency
LED lighting, solar installations, smart thermostats, water heater upgrades, recirculation pumps, and pipe insulation — facilitated through utility rebate programs.
Building Assessments & Audits
We assess your building to identify every utility rebate program you qualify for. Water efficiency, energy usage, and compliance — one visit covers it all.
LADWP-Funded Toilet Replacement — Zero Cost to You
LADWP covers 100% of fixture and installation costs for multifamily buildings with 5+ units. We replace old 1.6+ gallon-per-flush toilets with WaterSense-certified, ultra-high-efficiency models — and handle the entire process from application to installation to old fixture removal.
LADWP sewer rates are doubling by 2028. A 100-unit building that does nothing will pay $45,000 more per year. That’s not a projection — it’s the approved rate schedule.
| Building Size | Annual Water & Sewer Savings | 5-Year Cost of Doing Nothing |
|---|---|---|
| 20 units | ~$2,600/year | ~$13,000 |
| 50 units | ~$6,500/year | ~$32,500 |
| 100 units | ~$13,000/year | ~$65,000 |
| 200 units | ~$26,000/year | ~$130,000 |
