Energy Savers Program
GreenTown Los Altos’s Energy Savers Program provides information and education on reducing home energy use and increasing the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind.
Online Energy Assessment – Did you know that home electronics now account for more than 30 percent of Californians’ electricity use? This online tool helps you get a handle on your energy use (both gas and electric) from the comfort of your own home.
- Free for the first 50 homes in Los Altos. Click HERE to begin.
In-home Assessment – Visit Energy Upgrade California to identify contractors qualified to provide in-home assessments under the program. The contractor will come to your home, perform diagnostic tests and physical inspection, prepare recommendations on how you can save energy, and connect you with available rebates. Rebates up to $4000 are currently available for home energy upgrades. For other information:
- See our Resources Page for helpful links, including GreenTown videos on How to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient.
- View the presentation: “Energy and Homes: Taking Control of Your Home’s Carbon Footprint” delivered by Recurve to GreenTown Los Altos in 2010.
- Check back for GreenTown Workshops and Green Home Tours, which provide information and hands-on education about energy-saving opportunities.
