Regional incentives have also been added to the existing Energy Upgrade Basic and Advanced pathways to home energy efficiency upgrades as a part of the Energy Upgrade California Whole House Upgrade program. An additional $1,000 flat-rate rebate brings the total rebate for the Energy Upgrade Basic Package projects to $2,000. An additional $2,000 flat-rate rebate for Advanced Package projects means a homeowner can now get up to $6,000 in rebates. Energy efficiency upgrades in these packages are designed to increase energy and water efficiency, improve indoor air quality, create a more comfortable home, and potentially decrease utility bills.
Both incentive programs are limited-time offers, available on a first-come/first-served basis while funds last. Funding for this program is made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). For more information on these rebates, how to contact a Participating Contractor or HERS II Rater, or Energy Upgrade California™ in Sonoma County, call (707) 565-6470 or visit www.EnergyUpgradeSonoma.org.

To qualify for the 100% energy analysis, homeowners must work with a HERS II Rater and receive a Home Energy Score.
