It has taken a few months to iron out the details and schedule the contractor, but in a few weeks Building Efficiency will be starting the energy upgrades to our 1922 home in San Francisco as part of the Energy Upgrade California Program. We will be getting insulation added to the exterior walls, air sealing at all the doors, windows and fireplace, and a brand new high efficiency gas heater, all for free!
It's not too late to apply to the program as the $4000 from the state program will be available until the end of the year, but for San Francisco residents to qualify for all the funding (an additional $2000-$5000), the construction work needs to be complete by June 30, 2012. For more information on the program, including a list of qualified contractors, take a look at the wonderful website the San Francisco Department of the Environment has set up. You can even take a quick survey online to see if your home is a good candidate before officially embarking on the process.
Sounds great! Anything to help the Earth is good in my books! Best of luck to you.
