What We Can Do

Everyone wants to save money on their energy bills. The great news is that energy efficiency saves money while helping the City achieve its sustainability goals. We want to provide the tools and resources you need to make smart and timely decisions regarding energy.

Energy Saving Tips

There are a variety of ways to save on energy use, such as:

Replacing old appliances with Energy Star labeled appliances
Replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient ones (CFLs or LEDs)
Insulating your home (attic, walls, water heater, and exposed pipes)
Using cold water for laundry (90% of the energy is used for heating water)
Air drying laundry and dishes
Consider installing solar energy

There are rebates available for nearly all of these options. Click here to see SCE’s rebates and associated programs for their residential and commercial customers, and click here to see what’s available through Energy Upgrade California.
