Use a PG&E program to improve energy efficiency

 

PG&E programs offer a range of services to support the energy-efficiency efforts of residential customers. Each program is managed by an energy-efficiency implementation specialist selected by PG&E. A variety of programs help meet the unique needs of our diverse customer base.

 

Find the program that best suits your needs

 

All programs are open to both owners and renters and customers in manufactured or mobile homes may be eligible. Note that customers may only participate in one program at a time.

  • Energy Action Guide: Compare and shop energy-smart products to reduce your electricity costs and find the model that is right for you.
  • Product rebates: Learn about our rebates for energy-efficiency products and appliances.
