Single-Family Home Rebates
Improving your home’s energy efficiency can reduce your energy use and save natural resources.
To help, SDG&E offers rebates for the purchase and installation of qualifying energy-efficient measures. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are spent.
Multi-Family Rebates
Rebates for qualified energy-efficient improvements in apartment dwelling units and in the common areas of apartment and condominium complexes, and common areas of mobile home parks.
Air Conditioner Tune-Ups
Save energy and money this summer by tuning up your central air conditioner. Home cooling and heating can account for up to 50% of your energy use, so make sure your system is running efficiently.
- Call 800-289-2440 to find a contractor in your area
- Visit Air Conditioner Tune-Ups * for more information
Summer Saver Program
Earn a credit on your utility bill and help reduce regional demand for electricity by cycling your central A/C unit “on and off” for a few hours on selected hot summer days. You choose your level of participation so you can find the cycling option that fits your life and comfort level.
Affordable Financing for Home Improvements
If you’re looking to make energy-efficient home improvements, you may want to consider the “Energy Loan” from Fannie Mae. This loan was developed to provide homeowners with an unsecured financing option – from $2,500 to $20,000 – for specified energy-efficient home improvements.
Residential Lighting Program
Your home’s lighting can account for as much as 20% of your annual energy costs. To help reduce your energy use, consider installing energy-efficient light bulbs and fixtures. Special discount prices on specific ENERGY STAR®-labeled lighting products are periodically available at participating retailers throughout the year.
