The Three Stages of the ESA Program

Each stage is delivered by an SCE-approved contractor. Where possible, contractors will provide remote outreach and assessment services.

Already Applied? Check Status

1. Qualification and Assessment

To be eligible, you must meet specific household income guidelines. After income qualification, a contractor will do a walk-through of your home to collect information to help SCE determine the potential for installation of one or more appliances or services.

• Be a homeowner or renter who receives electric services through a residential meter
• Reside in a single-family home or mobile home
  • Note: Residences with four (4) or fewer units are considered single-family homes. So, duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes qualify.
• Have an active SCE service account
• Meet appliance replacement/installation requirements for each service
• And meet either Option 1 or Option 2 listed below

2. Service Delivery 

Qualified SCE customers may be eligible for several appliance upgrades or energy-saving services. The SCE-approved contractor will collect information to help SCE determine which upgrades your household qualifies for.

Installation of appliances and services are conducted by approved contractors.

3. Inspection

An inspection may be performed in your home to see if the contractor has completed the work to meet our quality standards. If the work is not done properly, it will be redone at no cost to you.
