FinAnswer Express

Important! Pacific Power's planned changes (PDF) to the incentives and equipment qualifications associated with our energy efficiency programs have been approved by the California Public Utilities Commission effective January 19, 2012. If you have questions or need more information, please email us at energy.expert@pacificpower.net.

For new construction and major renovation projects, our FinAnswer Express program in California includes incentives and technical expertise for lighting, HVAC and other equipment upgrades that increase your electric energy efficiency and exceed code requirements.

How it works (program steps)

Step 1: Contact us or an Energy Efficiency Alliance vendor if you'd like help getting started. Pre-approval is recommended but not required for lighting and chiller incentive applications.

Step 2: Download an incentive application and catalog (see next section).

Step 3: Purchase and install qualifying equipment at an eligible location.

Step 4: Submit your incentive application.

Step 5: Receive your incentive check within 45 days of completion of step 4.
