Targeted Low-Income ProgramResidential
The Targeted Low-Income Program is designed for AEP Texas’ low-income customers to reduce their energy costs and energy consumption. Not-for-profit community agencies will identify eligible customers, conduct home assessments, and arrange for the installation of energy efficient and weatherization measures in households that have an annual household income that is at or below the 200% federal poverty guideline.
Purpose of Program
The objective of this program is to help residential customers reduce energy consumption through comprehensive, whole-house retrofits that maximize electricity savings. This is accomplished through the installation of the following types of measures:
Home Envelope Measures
- Insulation
- Air Infiltration (door weather-stripping, door thresholds, sealing plumbing penetrations, sealing attic accesses, etc.)
Interior Energy Usage Measures
- ENERGY STAR® LED light bulbs
Air Conditioning System Measures
- A/C System Duct Testing and Sealing
- ENERGY STAR® Connected Thermostats
- High-efficiency Split-system Air Conditioning Systems & Heat Pumps (complete system change-out required.)
- High-efficiency Packaged-unit Air Conditioning Systems & Heat Pumps (complete system change-out required)
Program Funding
Program funding is limited. AEP Texas makes at least 10% of its total energy efficiency budget available to not-for-profit agencies that can provide cost-effective energy efficiency improvements in the homes of income-eligible customers.
