Have an old fridge or air conditioner? Get paid $50 to recycle it!
Have an old fridge or air conditioner? Our partner, ARCA Recycling, will pick it up for free, then we’ll mail you a $50 check for participating.
By properly recycling your fridge or air conditioner, you’ll help prevent potent greenhouse gases from escaping into the atmosphere and contaminants from getting into the landfill.

Get $1,000 or more to replace your water heater
We are offering a rebate of $1,000 to $3,500 when you replace your gas water heater with a new heat pump water heater! BayREN also offers a rebate of $1,000, which you can combine with our rebate.
Higher rebates are available for residents who need panel upgrades and/or are income-qualifying.
Since heat pump water heaters are fully electric, they can be powered with 100% clean electricity from Peninsula Clean Energy.

Did you know...
...you can charge your electric vehicle (EV) with a standard, 120V outlet? Most EVs can add 40 to 50 miles of charge overnight. Many people are not aware of this. Don’t let this delay your decision to switch to an EV! Later, you can upgrade to a higher voltage, higher capacity charger and enjoy faster charge times.
If you cannot install a charger at home, Plugshare, Google Maps, or Apple Maps make it easy to find a place to charge your car.
