The City of Houston’s Residential Energy Efficiency Program (REEP) has retrofitted approximately 7,000 homes in Houston since 2006. This milestone represents significant savings for homeowners and marks important environmental progress. Home weatherization helps increase energy efficiency, which protects the environment and makes economic sense. Through our program, residents can maintain their property values and save money on electric bills. We offer home weatherization at no cost to residents. Studies show that homeowners received dramatically reduced electricity bills after their homes were weatherized by REEP. On average, electricity usage was reduced by 12-18% each month. During the summer months when electricity bills are higher, homeowners witnessed reductions of up to 20%.
The program tackles one neighborhood at a time. This community-based approach allows the program greater efficiency by concentrating efforts in one area before moving on to the next. Neighbors can share experiences with one another, which promotes the program and educates everyone about the importance of energy efficiency.
The Residential Energy Efficiency Program (REEP) is offered at no cost. The measures we install on your home are approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and may reduce your electricity bill.
