The PG&E Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) Program is a state-mandated process with strict compliance steps. To ensure your safety and eligibility, the process involves multiple verifications. Here is the exact roadmap.
Phase 1: Qualification
1. Eligibility Check
Quick online verification of income or program enrollment (CalFresh).
2. Consultation Visit
A friendly Rep visits to sign paperwork. No tools, just a digital handshake.
3. Office Verification
We validate your data with PG&E (2-4 Day Wait Gap).

Phase 2: Weatherization & Safety
4. Weatherization Day
Our crew installs draft seals, smart valves, and LEDs.
5. NGAT Safety Test
Scientific testing for Carbon Monoxide and leaks.
6. Safety Trigger (Conditional)
If our tests detect a hazard, we pause to initiate the R&R Rescue Mission.

Phase 3: The Double-Check
7. Internal Quality Audit
A Supervisor double-checks the work (including R&R if applicable) for 100% compliance.
8. Final Utility Inspection
PG&E signs off to guarantee your home meets all state safety codes.
⚠️ The Rescue Mission: Repair & Replace (R&R)
This specialized workflow is triggered ONLY if your unit is found to be inoperable or unsafe (Red Tagged) during Phase 2.
Heating Safety
Repair or replacement with approved heating systems.
Water Heating
Repair or replacement with approved water heater.
A. GSR Verification
We contact the Gas Service Representative (Utility) to confirm the hazard and authorize replacement.
B. R&R Assessment
A specialist visits to scope the new unit (sizing, venting, permits) and schedule the crew.
C. Installation
Specialized crews install your new Ultra Low NOx Furnace or Heat Pump Water Heater.
D. City Inspection
Since we pull permits for ensuring safety, repairing, and replacement, a local City Inspector will visit to verify the work meets building codes.
