Learn about the Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program during a city-sponsored workshop scheduled for Tuesday.
The workshop is set 3 to 4 p.m. at the Main Library's auditorium , 101 Pacific Ave.
Staff will review eligibility and installation requirements and the application and rebate process.
This workshop is held in preparation for the city's launch of the Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program, which will begin April 19 for applicants who install qualifying energy efficient products such as solar hot water-heaters, tank-less water-heaters, windows, doors, skylights and roofs.
To be eligible to participate in the Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program, applicants must be the owner of a single-family residence, condominium, or live/work unit in Long Beach where the qualified energy efficient product is to be installed.
The Rebate Program is limited to any of the qualifying energy efficient products:
Energy Star Solar Hot Water Heater Products.
Energy Star Tank-Less Hot Water Heater Products.
Energy Star Door, Window and Skylight Products.
Energy Star Roof Products.
The Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program is subject to funding availability and rebates and no-cost permits are available for a limited time only. The Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program rebates and no-cost permits are provided on a first come, first serve basis, as determined by the permit application date.
The rebate program helps Long Beach achieve its energy reduction and greenhouse gas reduction goals and creates significant savings on homeowners electric bills.
These rebates are made possible by funds from the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG) through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
