Rebate incentives for completing home energy efficiency upgrades have never been better in California. This funding is only available for a limited time only. Now is the time to take advantage of these great incentives.

Here is how to qualify for the rebates:

1.  Complete a home energy assessment. Home energy assessments take 3-5  hours while our specialists conduct a series of diagnostic tests that measure your home’s performance. These tests include a blower door to measure how tight your home is, a duct blaster to measure any leakage in your duct system and infrared cameras to identify areas of inadequate insulation.

The Association of Bay Area Governments is currently offering a $300 home energy assessment rebate for having completed an energy assessments completed.

2.  Review your home energy assessment. After conducting these tests, our energy specialists will provide you a 20+ page report identifying issues in your home. This information comes from the diagnostic tests combined with modeling your home in computer software. This will include efficiency issues as well as some safety issues such as testing for carbon monoxide exposure. The report provides you a baseline for the rebates. The rebates from Energy Upgrade CA, the  Association of Bay Area Governments and city and county specific rebates are based on the amount of energy savings which can be achieved in your home. Along with this report will be a set of upgrade packages you can select from depending on your budget and goals.

3.  Have your home energy retrofit completed. The most cost-effective energy efficiency upgrades usually include: properly insulating the attic, crawlspace and walls, air sealing leaky areas of the building, ensuring proper duct sealing and upgrading old, inefficient furnaces and water heaters. More expensive efficiency measures can include installing high-performance dual pane windows and radiant heating systems.  Advanced Home Energy completes these energy efficiency upgrades in house using our own crews so you don’t need to hire multiple contractors for different aspects of your energy retrofit.

4. Enjoy your energy efficiency upgrades. Home energy retrofits not only make your home more energy efficient but also more comfortable. Often the upgrades also make your home safer for your family by ensuring healthy indoor air quality. Winter is coming! Don't be caught in a cold and drafty home. Enjoy a cozier, more comfortable home by having a home energy retrofit.
