Below are some resources that will help you to take action and be a part of making Foster City--and the planet--a more sustainable place to live.

Rebates

Rebates
In addition to the rebates offered by the City of Foster City, explore rebates available from PG&E for energy-efficient and electric appliances, including qualifying smart thermostats and BayREN, which offers rebates for air sealing, duct sealing, insulation, heat pump equipment, and more. Use Peninsula Clean Energy's Rebate Finder to find more rebates and incentives.
