In the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) and PG&E-SoCalGas Shared Service Territories
2016 Home Upgrade Rebate Changes
Linda Tim, Sr. Project Associate
April 7, 2016

2. Rebate Changes

3. Home Upgrade Program Changes
Minimum points required for eligibility increases from 100 to 150
Base Measure Kickers removed (15 points for 2nd base measure and 20 points for 3rd base measure)
These changes apply to all applications submitted after April 15, 2016 at 11:59 pm.

4. Home Upgrade Program Changes
Home Upgrade point structure remains the same
150 points = $1,500
Additional 10 points = $100
Maximum rebate = $3,000

5. Home Upgrade Pathway Example
Attic Insulation R44, Air Seal 15%, Duct Seal 10%
Existing Rebate Structure:
Qualifies for 2nd and 3rd base measure kickers
= 115 points + 35 bonus = 150
150 points = $1,500
After April 15th, the kickers will be removed and the minimum points increase to 150.

6. Home Upgrade Pathway Example
Attic Insulation R44, Air Seal 15%, Duct Replacement/Seal 6%
= 155
155 points = $1,500
Combining base measures with a flex measure (e.g. duct insulation or gas storage water heater) is one alternative and inexpensive approach.
