Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible?

Income-qualified owners or renters of single-family, multifamily, or manufactured homes in identified Southern California communities are encouraged to apply. We’ll help you determine your eligibility.

Is this a real program?

Yes. The EBD program is a statewide effort under the California Energy Commission (CEC). You can learn more about the CEC at Energy.ca.gov/Programs-And-Topics/Programs/Equitable-Building-Decarbonization-Program/EBD-Statewide-Direct.

Can I do my own improvements or use my own contractor?

For your safety, all work must be completed by the program’s trained installers.

Can I choose which upgrades I receive?

Yes. Your program advisor will review the EBD recommendations with you and help determine which upgrades are the best fit for your home. You’ll have a say in the final choices, based on what’s compatible with your home and your needs.

How do these upgrades help with reducing energy use?

Air sealing helps prevent heating or AC from leaking out of your home, while new, efficient appliances use less energy to do the same job.

How do these upgrades help the environment?

Along with greater efficiency that helps you use less energy, switching to electric appliances helps reduce harmful emissions and supports improved indoor air quality.

The Equitable Building Decarbonization Program is overseen by the California Energy Commission and administered by the County of Los Angeles in the Southern California region. The program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Invest dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health. Partial funding is provided by the Home Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) Program overseen by the U.S. Department of Energy.
