Your application paperwork

PG&E's Energy Savings Assistance Program gives income-qualified customers free home energy improvements such as attic insulation, weatherstripping, and repair or replacement of a furnace, water heater, or refrigerator. You apply online or by phone, then an energy specialist visits to confirm eligibility and decide which improvements your home gets. Qualifying through a program like CalFresh or Medi-Cal can replace proof of income.

Steps to apply

  1. Confirm you are a PG&E customer and meet the income guidelines (or take part in CalFresh, Medi-Cal, or another qualifying program).
  2. Apply online through the PG&E Energy Savings Assistance application, or call the program line.
  3. An energy specialist contacts you to schedule a home assessment.
  4. During the visit the specialist confirms eligibility and identifies the no-cost improvements; the work is then installed free.
