You can select your own California-licensed contractor for common area upgrades so long as they comply with all program policies stated in the terms and conditions of the Property-Level Application and Property Owner Authorization & Affidavit (POA), as well as all applicable local, state and federal laws. If you do not have a contractor in mind, a program team member can connect you with one. Submit an interest form to get in contact with a Multifamily Energy Savings team member.
Resident unit (in-unit) upgrades must be completed by a member of the Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) contractor network, a network of specially trained contractors who install upgrades and educate residents on maximizing incentives for cost savings, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving air quality.
