New incentives for energy-efficient home improvements
Energy Upgrade California is a new incentive program offered to Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) customers.
Incentives are available to SoCalGas customers who complete certain energy-saving home improvements. With a variety of participation options through the Basic and Advanced Packages, you can increase comfort, improve indoor air quality and possibly save money on your utility bills. 1
Why upgrade?
Many air leaks in homes are fairly obvious, such as around windows, doors and electrical outlets. But others, like those in attics, around chimneys, and through recessed lighting fixtures, are often the more significant sources of energy loss in a home. Energy upgrades will help to optimize your home's energy efficiency. You could also enjoy these benefits:
- Realize long-term energy savings
- Help reduce greenhouse gases
- Increase indoor comfort
- Improve indoor air quality
Which projects are eligible?
Each home's needs are unique, so a variety of upgrades are available, depending on what’s best for you.
To participate in either the Basic or Advanced Upgrade Packages, you must meet these requirements:
- Own a single-family detached home
- Be a customer of SoCalGas
- Use a participating program contractor
