State-Supported Programs for Smarter Energy Homes

Lets Talk Effeciency

Nearly 80% of California homes were built before modern energy codes, making them inefficient by today’s standards. Opting in to an energy-efficient home program can reduce utility costs by up to 60% and support California’s clean energy goals.

Limited Project Funding

Basic Qualifications:
• Must be a Homeowner
• High Monthly Energy Usage
• Outdated HVAC, Windows, Thermostat, or Appliances

Eligible Upgrades

Smart Thermostats

Smart thermostats can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 15%, automatically learning your habits to optimize comfort and efficiency. In California, they’re one of the fastest, most affordable upgrades for cutting energy waste and improving home performance.

Mini Splits

Ductless mini splits offer high-efficiency heating and cooling with up to 40% energy savings compared to traditional HVAC systems. Perfect for California’s climate, they provide room-by-room temperature control without costly ductwork or energy loss.

Appliances

Old appliances can account for nearly 30% of your home’s energy use. Upgrading to ENERGY STAR® certified models can significantly lower utility bills and qualify you for California energy rebates.

Windows & Tinting

Up to 30% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through inefficient windows. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows or applying solar-control window tinting can dramatically reduce indoor heat gain, lower energy bills, and improve year-round comfort—especially in sunny California.

Solar +  Battery Backup

Pairing solar with battery backup lets you generate your own power and store it for when it matters most—like during blackouts or peak-rate hours. In California, this combo not only reduces your electric bill but also boosts energy independence and resilience in wildfire-prone areas.

Zero Upfront Costs

Upgrade your home with smarter systems—no money down, no hidden fees, just lower bills and better comfort.

60% Savings

Thousands of California homeowners are slashing their utility bills with state-supported upgrades. Funding is limited—see if your home qualifies before the program fills up.

Tomorrow's Future

Relieving pressure on California’s electrical grid helps prevent equipment overloads—linked to over 1,500 wildfires between 2014 and 2022. By reducing demand through smart energy choices, homeowners not only lower wildfire risks but also support California’s clean energy goals for a safer, greener tomorrow.
