Senator Dodd: Making Your Home Energy Efficient

You could save up to 30 percent on your utility bills by assessing your usage and making energy-wise improvements

California is a leader in environmental protection and preservation. As a state, we set an example for the rest of the nation to follow with our goal of reducing carbon pollution to 1990 levels by 2030. That’s equal to taking 5.6 million cars off the road every year and reducing annual emissions from 14 tons to 10 tons per person.

You can do your part to save the planet and reduce your own utility bill by conducting an energy assessment on your home. Energy Upgrade California will help you figure out how much energy you use and what resources are available to reduce your consumption. The website offers information on rebates and financing for things like upgrading appliances and adding solar panels to your home.

As always, I am available to help you achieve these important goals. Don’t hesitate to call my office. Look for more information on my website.
