Energy Upgrade California
Energy Upgrade California- Los Angeles County
EUCLA is a program that provides rebates to homeowners who hire Participating Contractors to install specific energy efficiency upgrades. Energy Upgrade California takes the “house-as-a-system” approach that looks at each structure as a unique and interactive whole rather than a group individual components acting independently of one another.
There are two packages offered in the Energy Upgrade California Program. The Basic Package involves completing a pre-determined set of retrofit measures to the home for a fixed rebate of $1,000. The Advanced Package involves a customized scope of work based on diagnostic testing, contractor recommendations, and homeowner goals. The rebate value depends on the percentage of energy savings modeled for each home and can reach up to $4,500, depending on the home’s utility service provider.
Southern California Edison (SCE) and Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) territories.
