The SMUD Home Performance Program has just announced a significant increase in rebate levels!
The basic Prescriptive Level that consists of air sealing, insulation and duct sealing went from $1,000 to $1,500.
For the advanced Performance Level the following increases are now in effect:
| Improvement Level | Old Rebate | New Rebate |
| 20% | $2,000 | $2,500 |
| 25% | $2,500 | $3,000 |
| 30% | $3,000 | $3,750 |
| 35% | $3,500 | $4,750 |
| 40% | $4,000 | $6,000 |
| 45% | $4,500 | $7,500 |
| 50% | $5,000 | $9,000 |
Two weeks prior to this latest announcement, the program changed the way the rebate percentages were calculated. In most cases this resulted in a 5%-10% savings increase.
For example a project that might have been at 20% and eligible for $2000 two weeks ago, could now be at the 25% level and eligible for $3000!
For
those projects in the higher levels the maximum amount has increased from $5000 to $9000!
For those of you that haven’t scheduled your assessment call me so we can find out what rebate your home could be eligible for!
For customers that have been waiting to decide if the time is right to do your retrofit project, the timing will never get better than now!
Call or email me and I can rerun your energy model and see what your new rebate amount would be for the same scope of work!

Genevieve,
Energy efficient windows are definitely eligible for the generous SMUD rebates that are available through the Energy Upgrade California Program.
The first step is to schedule an energy performance assessment for your home. This comprehensive assessment is currently available for just $99!
