AC Quality Care Program

A home AC system can be complicated.
Luckily, PG&E rebates aren’t.

Maintaining your air conditioner might not be top of mind. But it should be. Especially when you realize that heating and cooling account for 44% of your home energy bill. That being the case, it’s easy to see how important routine maintenance is to help your AC system perform better, decrease costs, and reduce the chances of it breaking down over time.

How This Program Works

AC Quality Care is based on a nationally-recognized industry maintenance standard supported by the latest technology. To participate in the program, contractors must meet the rigorous criteria that PG&E requires.

AC Quality Care begins with a comprehensive assessment of your system to give you a complete picture of the preventative maintenance you may want performed–from equipment safety to performance to necessary repairs. A participating contractor will:

Spend an hour or more at your home going over how your system is working and what you can expect from the program.
Complete a detailed system assessment, including a combustion safety evaluation of natural gas appliances.
Provide you with a detailed evaluation and recommendations, along with information about qualifying for rebates.

You decide what work, if any, you want to have your contractor perform. Once the work has been completed, your contractor will help you apply for PG&E rebates to offset your costs. Then, you’ll be able to start enjoying the comfort and peace of mind that comes with a well-maintained HVAC system.
