I live in an 80 year old stucco house on a 80X30 piece of property in Oakland and recently have begun the process of replacing a number of windows with double pane.
PG&E used to give rebate son such windows to single-family homeowners like myself. They now only give them to owners of multi-family dwellings (apartment houses.
I can't get anyone at PG&E to give me a logical explanation as to why they stopped these window rebates.
Oh yes they will give me a rebate if I spend $800.00 plus dollars or more on new washers and dryers. If PG&E wants to give me an interest-free long-term loans to replace my older washer and dryer I would be grateful, but not before they give me information on exactly how much carbon the manufacture of these items produces. Information often left out of the equation.
I am 72 and retired living on a fixed income. How about offering some money incentives to people in my situation. I purposely purchased a home which is close to a neighborhood that has stores to meet my basic needs.
PS: I either take walk or take public transportation whenever I can and I drive less than 100 miles a month in a 21 year old automobile.
