    Questions?

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Straight answers before you book your free assessment.

    Is the assessment really free?

    Yes. The in-home assessment is 100% free with no obligation. You'll never be charged for the assessment itself, and you're free to walk away afterward.

    Are you a government agency or affiliated with one?

    No. California Home Energy Center is a private company, not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by any federal, state, or local government body. Some utility or state rebate programs may exist independently, and your contractor can tell you which ones, if any, apply to your situation.

    Will I definitely save money?

    We can't promise specific savings, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. Actual results depend on your home, your current energy usage, and which upgrades you choose. The assessment is designed to show you your potential options so you can decide for yourself.

    Am I guaranteed to qualify?

    No. Passing the eligibility check on this page means you may qualify for a free assessment — it is not an approval. Final eligibility for any program is determined by a licensed contractor during the in-home visit and depends on your home, location, and the programs available at that time.

    Is the equipment free?

    No equipment is promised for free. Depending on eligibility, some programs may offer rebates or financing options that can reduce your out-of-pocket cost. Your contractor will explain exactly what may be available to you — in writing.

    Do I have to be the homeowner?

    Yes. These programs are designed for property owners. If you rent, the property owner would need to request the assessment.

    What happens during the in-home visit?

    A licensed contractor evaluates the areas you selected — things like your HVAC system, insulation, windows, roof, or exterior — then reviews which upgrades and programs your home may qualify for. Typically 45–60 minutes.
