Energy Savings Assistance Program
How the Program Works
The Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) program is designed to help you conserve energy and save money. Income-qualified customers may be eligible to receive energy-efficient appliances at no charge or a minimal charge. If you qualify, we’ll cover the costs of new energy-efficient appliances—including installation.
The online application only takes a few minutes to complete, and your information will be kept confidential. Once you apply, we will determine your eligibility for the program. If eligible, you will be referred to an authorized contractor in your area.

Fact Sheet
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.
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
Effective June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024, income limits are as follows:
