CPS Energy's weatherization program makes the houses of eligible homeowners more energy-efficient, with the goal of lower power bills.
Janie Garcia's Northwest San Antonio home is the 30,000th to be made more energy efficient under CPS Energy's Casa Verde Weatherization Program. Garcia is joined by Mayor Ron Nirenberg and Councilman Mario Bravo .With roughly 50 people packed into her front driveway, Janie Garcia looked a little stunned.
Although Garcia has yet to see how the updates will affect her energy bill, she said she can already feel a difference in how warm or cool her home is, and said she is glad she heard about the program from her cousin. Astudillo applied, hoping it could help knock her bill down a bit. Just three weeks later, she learned her application had been processed and she was eligible for some of the updates the program offered. Having a CPS Energy contractor weatherize her home didn’t take long, she said — the process took about three weeks.“They came in and did the weather stripping, the caulking, changed out my light bulbs — and I immediately saw the differences,” she said. “I told everyone about it.
“We’re going to push as much capacity through weatherization as we possibly can because it reaches the most at-risk members of the community,” he said.
