Benicia Home Efficiency Program Terms and Conditions

In order to help you save energy and capture program results, we need your commitment to share your energy bills during the course of this program.

The City’s subsidy of your energy audit and water assessment depends on your cooperation to send us energy usage information from your PG&E account. We need the following information at the following three time points, (and will send you instructions for how to download it from PG&E, plus reminders when we need it):

Previous year’s usage: One year of electricity and gas usage and information, for the 12 months prior to your energy audit;
3-month check-up on usage: Electricity and gas usage and cost information for the three months following your energy audit;
At program end: Annual summary of electricity and gas usage, due at the program end (currently anticipated to be early 2011).

We will make this process as easy as we can.

In addition, we will need your water bills. By participating in the program, you agree to allow authorized agents from Ennovationz and the City of Benicia to access your water billing and usage information.

By signing up to receive a subsidized energy and water assessment, you agree to provide the energy and water data outlined above; if you do not provide the data, you agree to reimburse the City of Benicia for the cost of the energy and water assessment, and any direct install subsidy provided for your home.
