California along with the Federal Government and the local Utility companies, Edison and SDG&E, have great programs in place to help you achieve both goals. Renewable Energy technologies and energy efficient technologies combined can put you on a path to significantly reduce your energy costs and receive annual payments for energy you put back into the electric grid.

Edison and SDG&E are still offering rebates to residential, commercial and non-profit customers. The federal government offers tax credits and accelerated depreciation for renewable energy technologies such as wind turbines, thermal water heating systems, and solar PV (photovoltaic or solar electricity). Rebates and tax credits are also available for energy efficient products like LED lights, windows and doors, insulation, roofing materials, HVAC systems and more.

LED Lighting will lead the way in energy savings in the next ten years. You can expect to reduce your energy consumption by 25-60% switching to LED Lights. And they last, LED lights rated for rebates come with warranties that guarantee 10-20 years of use. In fact all of the renewable technologies come with outstanding warranties; wind turbines, thermal systems, and solar PV come with 25 year warranties.

If you would like to learn more about renewable energy and energy efficient technologies and affordable ways to incorporate them in your home or business, call Living Green 949-748-0701. Serving the community for over 35 years.
