HOW IT WORKS

Steps to Claim Your Rebates.

STEP 01

Check Your Eligibility

Visit the official program website for your utility provider (SVCE, SJCE, or PCE) to confirm you are eligible and that funding is currently available.

STEP 02

Apply Before Work Begins

Most programs require you to apply and receive approval BEFORE any electrical work starts. Do not schedule installation until your rebate application is confirmed.

STEP 03

Schedule Your Installation

Once your rebate is approved, schedule your panel upgrade or EV charger installation with a licensed C-10 contractor like Plug-N-Go Electric.

Most rebate programs require pre-approval before work begins. Starting electrical work before receiving rebate approval may disqualify you from receiving the rebate. Always contact the program directly first.

Once your rebate is approved by your utility provider, we're ready to schedule your installation.
