High energy usage? Rooms too hot? Want to improve your home’s efficiency?
If you answered yes to any questions, are within Oncor’s service area, and are served by an Oncor electric meter, you’ve come to the right place! Oncor’s Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® Program is an effective way for you to significantly reduce your home’s energy consumption while improving its comfort—even in hot Texas summers. By visiting this Web site, you’ve taken the first step toward making your home more energy efficient.
What is Home Performance with ENERGY STAR?
Home Performance with ENERGY STAR provides a comprehensive, whole-house approach to making your home more comfortable, reducing its energy use, improving indoor air quality, and creating a healthier home for your family.
Rather than focusing on a single problem, like an old heating or cooling system, not enough insulation, or leaky windows, Home Performance with ENERGY STAR looks at your house as a system and how improvements throughout your home can work together to give you the best results.
The program works when you contact a certified contractor to visit your home for an initial evaluation and then make recommendations that will improve the energy efficiency of your home. Recommendations are based on the best-available building science practices for estimating cost-effective improvements, and follow the Home Performance with ENERGY STAR process, a process backed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Energy. After this initial evaluation, your contractor will prepare a detailed work proposal outlining the recommended improvements and recommend eligible measures that qualify for incentives. Once you decide on the improvements that you want to make, your contractor will help you get the work done quickly and correctly.
Additionally, Oncor provides up to $1,500 in cash incentives for qualified energy-saving home improvements. For further savings, you can also take advantage of available federal tax credits.
