Attic and Wall Insulation
The ceiling and walls of your home could be leaking money. Insulating your attic and walls can help reduce your energy costs and make your home more comfortable. Get a $150 rebate from PG&E for 1,000 square feet of qualifying attic insulation, and $500 back for 1,000 square feet of qualifying wall insulation.
Keep your Home Insulated
Old insulation or no insulation translates to higher energy costs because:
Heated or cooled air escapes through non-insulated areas, so you’re paying to heat and cool the wrong side of the walls and ceiling in your home
Hot or cold air from outside can get into your home when you don’t need it
How to Get Your Rebate
Customers must have natural gas and/or electricity distributed by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for space heating or cooling at the installation address.

Insulation must be installed between a conditioned living area and an unconditioned non-living area.

Energy-Efficient Cool Roof
Get up to a $200 Rebate per 1,000 Square Feet

This helps keep your roof cooler and reduces your cooling load and air conditioning needs. PG&E is offering a rebate of up to $0.20 per square foot, so on a 1,000 square foot roof we will pay you up to $200.
