Hooray! If you live in Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, or Sonoma county, you most likely live in a region that is eligible to receive a no-cost kit* containing energy and water-saving measures.

Our program is currently paused until Spring 2025. As long as your home meets our eligibility requirements, we will reach out to you early next year and ship an energy and water efficiency kit directly to your door. If you receive a kit, instructions on how to install each device will be included. We will not provide direct installation services.

If you have any questions, please call (510) 665-1501 ext. 300. You may also email us at eekits@risingsunopp.org with any questions you have.

Hooray! You live in a city in which we provide our no-cost energy and water efficiency services in-person. However, we will not resume our in-home services until Summer 2025.

In order for us to confirm that your home meets our eligibility requirements, and for us to be able to reach out to you to schedule an appointment in Spring 2025, please complete this form.
Based on your previous responses, you live in a city with it's own municipal electricity provider (e.g. the City of Alameda, the City of Santa Clara, or the City of Palo Alto). Unfortunately, this likely means you are ineligible to receive our services. Feel free to complete the following 15 minute survey to be sure. If you end up being eligible, we will ship an energy and water efficiency kit directly to your door. If you receive a kit, instructions on how to install each device will be included. We will not provide direct installation services.

If you have any questions, please call (510) 665-1501 ext. 300. You may also email us at eekits@risingsunopp.org with any questions you have.
