Peninsula Clean Energy has launched an effort to provide income-qualified San Mateo County residents with no-cost appliance electrification, energy efficiency, and other home repairs and upgrades.  

The 'Home Upgrade Program' will focus on critical needs for income-qualified residents who own single-family homes that use methane gas or propane for heating or cooking and who would otherwise be unable to afford the repairs and upgrades. These upgrades include both clean electrification and efficiency as well as other repairs to improve the health and safety of the homes. 

It will fill gaps left by existing income-qualified programs that either do not fund certain electrification or other health and safety improvements or do not cover all or most of the cost of the install. Eligible upgrades include window and door repair and replacement; stairs and hand railing repairs; replacing old carpet with flooring; removing mold, asbestos, and other hazards; and installing electric appliances, such as heat pumps, water heaters, and dryers.
