Department Of Water And Power Rebates – The California Water Power Rebate (CalWPR) provides money for installing energy-efficient products in multifamily properties and residential units. The rebates can be used for tenant units or common areas. Property owners and managers can use the program to improve their properties’ energy efficiency. The application process for the rebate is easy and fast.
Low-income households
In California, homeowners can get up to $14,000 in rebates from water power companies. Homeowners must be earning at least 150% of the area median household income to qualify. Fannie Mae has an area median income checker that will help you determine whether you are eligible. The program will run through September 30, 2031.
LIWP offers many benefits to low-income households, including reduced utility bills, improved air quality, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. LIWP is a way for low-income households to save money on their utility bills and have more money left over for other necessities.
The Weatherization Assistance Program helps low-income households reduce energy costs through a combination of rebates and education. This federally funded program is administered by utilities, Indian tribes, local and state governments, non-profit organizations, and nonprofit organizations. Regional community action agencies administer the program and provide weatherization assistance for low-income households.
This program is open to both single-family and multifamily households. Through this program, the company provides free energy efficiency measures such as windows, insulation, and water heaters to eligible low-income homeowners and tenants. DTE partners with faith-based and local community organizations to offer this program.
Commercial properties
There are several different rebate programs available for commercial customers. These programs provide a way for you to save money on energy bills. Tax credits may also be available. Commercial customers may be eligible for the C-PACE financing program. This program provides up to 100% of the upfront capital required for commercial energy projects.
Energy-efficient products
Increasing energy efficiency is one of the easiest steps to take towards sustainability. Simple things such as turning off lights in unused rooms can reduce your heating bills by up to ten percent. Your monthly bills can be reduced by closing doors and setting the thermostat to the right temperature. You can also take advantage of rebates on energy-efficient products or systems.
Another great way to save energy and money is by installing an ENERGY STAR(r) certified Smart thermostat in your home. These thermostats can be purchased at selected retailers and come pre-programmed. There is also a rebate of $1.00 per square foot for interior storm windows, which you can get by purchasing them at participating retailers.
The ENERGY STAR(r), rebate center is a great place to look for rebates on energy-efficient products. This center tracks rebates from multiple sources for energy-efficient appliances and products. You can be certain to find the right rebate for you.
You can also take advantage of federal tax credits for installing energy-efficient products in your home. To ensure that you are eligible, consult a tax professional.
