Heat pump installation in Camarillo, CA - 1 rebate program on file

Camarillo in Ventura County

Camarillo has 70,186 residents (give or take 51) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B01003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B01003?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19), about 3,565 people per square mile.

Camarillo is about 38 miles from the Census center point for Los Angeles in a straight line and covers 19.686 square miles of land (Census 2024 Gazetteer internal points and land area, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/gazetteer/2024_Gazetteer/, checked 2026-10-19).

The quote form takes a ZIP code; for Camarillo that is 93010 (Census 2020 ZCTA to county subdivision and ZCTA to place relationship files, ZIP areas at least 20% inside the town, https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_cousub20_natl.txt and https://www2.census.gov/geo/docs/maps-data/data/rel2020/zcta520/tab20_zcta520_place20_natl.txt, checked 2026-10-19).

3,565 people per square mile puts Camarillo in suburban density, where the outdoor unit usually sits in a side yard and the noise is not an issue for neighbors.

Fuel mix

Of the 26,250 occupied homes in Camarillo, 71% heat with natural gas, 0% with heating oil, 26% with electricity and 1% with propane (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19).

Gas heats 71% of Camarillo against electricity at 26%, and a cold-climate heat pump sized for this market replaces the gas system outright, so the usual quote is a whole-home install.

Camarillo has about the Ventura County oil share of 0% and 6 points more electric heat than the county's 20% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25040, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25040?g=050XX00US06111, checked 2026-10-19).

Housing stock

Camarillo has 27,658 housing units, 1% built before 1940 and 45% before 1980, with 22% built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19).

Camarillo has 5 points more homes built after 2000 than the county's 17% (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25034, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25034?g=050XX00US06111, checked 2026-10-19).

The median Camarillo home was built in 1982 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25035, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25035?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19) and the median home has 5.8 rooms (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25018, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25018?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19).

56% of Camarillo homes are single-family detached, 3% are in two- to four-unit buildings and 18% are in buildings of five or more units (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19).

35% of Camarillo homes are rented (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25003, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25003?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19), so beside the 56% detached houses there is a real share of jobs where the landlord, not the resident, signs the quote.

Camarillo has 7 points fewer detached houses than Ventura County overall (63%) (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B25024, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B25024?g=050XX00US06111, checked 2026-10-19).

Rebate path

No electric utility is on file for Camarillo on this door yet, so this page does not name one; the name on the bill decides which rebate path applies.

LADWP Consumer Rebate Program heat pump HVAC, run by LADWP, is a live program for California addresses and publishes its terms without one headline figure (registry row 24 verified 2026-10-14, https://www.ladwp.com/residential-services/assistance-programs/consumer-rebate-program, checked 2026-10-16); confirm eligibility for the Camarillo address before counting it. With 26% of Camarillo homes already on electric heat and 72% on gas, oil or propane, the row that applies depends on the name on the electric bill and the fuel coming out.

Median household income in Camarillo is $113,428 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, table B19013, https://data.census.gov/table/ACSDT5Y2024.B19013?g=160XX00US0610046, checked 2026-10-19); many state and utility heat pump rebate programs set higher incentive tiers for income-qualifying households, so the household income on the application, not the town median, decides which level applies.

Cold-day number

Heating design temperature: 28F. Source: ENERGY STAR Design Temperature Limit Reference Guide (2019 Edition), Ventura County row, 99% heating, PDF pages 11 to 13 of 141 (Revised 11/11/2020), https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/Design%20Temperature%20Limit%20Reference%20Guide%20(2019%20Ed)%20-%20ENERGY%20STAR%20Single-Family%20New%20Homes_Rev11.pdf, fetched 2026-10-19, 99%.

That 28F figure is the Ventura County cold-day number a Camarillo heat pump is sized against, so ask the installer to show the system's heating output at 28F, not at the milder rating-label temperature.

Next step

Ask whether the quote is whole-home or partial-home, because with 71% of Camarillo on gas and 26% already electric the two paths carry different rebate figures and different sizing.

Ask for the heat-loss calculation room by room; the median Camarillo home has 5.8 rooms and was built around 1982, and the count of heads and the tonnage follow the rooms and the insulation, not the square footage.
