Home Improvement Program
"I was really impressed with the service and the information I received. We will be getting a free inspection of our A/C ducts, a free inspection of our central A/C unity, a free install of a Nest Thermostat and a free install of a Smart Irrigation Control Unit to replace our old mechanical one. This is really a no brainer for anyone in Pasadena with an older home." -- Home Improvement Program Participant, District 5
To ensure the safety of program staff and our customers, the utility is dedicated to supporting social distancing and vendors will adhere to specific safety guidelines in response to COVID-19. Read our safety guidelines here.
Pasadena homeowners are essential participants in securing the future health of our city. As a community and environmental partner, PWP wants to help homeowners save money, use resources more efficiently and increase the comfort of their homes. That’s why we developed the Home Improvement Program.
