How does it work?

There are 3 basic steps for every job:

1. Education and Assessment
   A PG&E certified contractor (Energy Specialist) visits the customer at the customers’ home to qualify the customer into the program. The contractor also would use this visit to educate the customer on how to save energy, and assess the residence for weatherization measures.
2. Measure installation and delivery
   A PG&E certified contractor crew (Weatherization Specialist) visits the residence again to install feasilbe measures planned by the Energy Specialist. After all feasible weatherization measures are installed, the refrigerator contractors may deliver a new refrigerator to qualified customers.
3. Inspections
   Safety is PG&E’s No. 1 concern. PG&E’s Central Inspection Program inspects selected residences after measures are installed. Natural gas appliance safety inspections may also be performed by the contractor or the CIP inspector.
