 PG & E Rebates for a WHOLE HOUSE FAN

Check out the below link for More Details

PG&E Cool Savings

When you run a whole house fan in the morning and evening when it's coolest outside, the fan flushes heat out of your attic and pulls in cool air through your open windows. Because it cools your house before the air conditioning goes on, your air conditioning won’t have to work so hard during the day. It can help you save energy, money and the environment.

Basic Details How to Get Your Rebate

Customer must have electricity distributed by PG&E to the installation   
                                    
May be a new installation where none previously existed. 

One rebate per installation address, regardless of the number of units installed  

The fan must move 1,000 cubic feet of air per minute (CFM) or more and be permanently installed (connected to the framing). 

An insulated louver cover is also recommended for use in the winter.

Son In Law Services is Proud to Announce we are now PEX and CSST Certified. 

Being PEX certified allows more flexibility for water plumbing uses.  Now if you have existing piping that needs to be replaced and they are in hard to get to places, PEX may be the solution.  This tubing is now widely used to replace copper in plumbing applications.  This product should be installed by contractors who are certified. 

CSST is short for Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing.  This product is used in gas line distribution.  CSST is easy to expand and to use in retrofits where frequent bends and turns are necessary.  This stainless steel piping us approved by all national plumbing and gas codes.  Some local codes may differ.

  • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound.
  • An ionization smoke alarm is generally more responsive to flaming fires, and a photoelectric smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering fires. For the best protection, both types of alarms or a combination alarm (photoelectric and ionization) should be installed in homes.
  • Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.
  • Smoke rises; install smoke alarms following manufacturer's instructions high on a wall or on a ceiling. Save manufacturer's instructions for testing and maintenance.
  • Replace batteries in all smoke alarms at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps”, warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away.
  • Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10-year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are 10 year old or sooner if they do not respond properly.
  • Be sure the smoke alarm has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.
  • Alarms that are hard-wired (and include battery backup) must be installed by a qualified electrician.
  • If cooking fumes or steam sets off nuisance alarms, replace the alarm with an alarm that has a "hush" button. A "hush" button will reduce the alarm’s sensitivity for a short period of time.
  • An ionization alarm with a hush button or a photoelectric alarm should be used if the alarm is within 20 feet of a cooking appliance.
  • Smoke alarms that include a recordable voice announcement in addition to the usual alarm sound, may be helpful in waking children through the use of a familiar voice.
  • Smoke alarms are available for people who are deaf or hard of hearing . These devices use strobe lights. Vibration devices can be added to these alarms
  • Smoke alarms are an important part of a home fire escape plan.
