For so many, renters and homeowners, qualifying for assistance of any kind can be a challenge. Typically, if a household doesn’t make enough money they can apply for assistance. However, the most recent challenge facing ratepayers is that residents make too much to qualify. To help with the heavy burden of inflation, SoCalGas is lightening the load by expanding its eligibility guidelines for the Energy Savings Assistance Program. Now a family of four that earns up to $69,375, will be eligible for no-cost energy efficiency upgrades. Previously, a qualifying family of four could not make more than $55,500. Residents can improve the efficiency of their home with attic insulation, furnace and appliance repair or replacement, weather stripping, caulking, and insulation of doors and windows.
