Today is Energize Phoenix Day at Casa Klemme-Goodwine.
Arizona State University and City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services and Arizona Public Service were given a $25 million dollar grant to encourage homeowners and small business to convert inefficient energy systems to higher SEER rated systems. The grant is available in a limited area of Phoenix roughly bordering the light rail, and my home is in the qualifying area.
Qualified homes and businesses can get several types of upgrades free or at a discounted rate based on income. After application and evaluation we could benefit from a new air conditioner (replacing a 1978 one), a new gas hot water heater and duct repair or replacement as needed. The grant paid for 60% of the cost in our case, leaving a 40% balance for us.
To learn more go to Energize Phoenix.
We chose Hobaica Services, a longtime Phoenix family owned business as our Energize Phoenix contractor. From start to finish, the Hobaica family and employees were professional and skilled and a joy to work with.
I'd like to acknowledge Mike Hobaica for all the hoops he had to jump to qualify as contractor, Raud Hamilton for explaining and simplifying the education I needed to make good decisions, and our installation team of Raul Mori, Armando Carrera, and Phillip Byrd. They just left a few minutes ago, and here they are:

Left: In with the new!
(Just a little scary, but done to perfection!)

Below are Phillip Byrd, Armando Carrera and Raul Mori. These gentlemen love their work and take pride in the quality of their skills.
We could not have asked for a better team!
Thank you Hobaica and Energize Phoenix team!
