Ways to pay less

Low-to-moderate income owners: help with home energy upgrades (SHEEP). The Schertz Home Energy Efficiency Program assists low-to-moderate-income residents with upgrades such as air duct repair or sealing, insulation, efficient appliances and LED lighting. You must own and live in the home, the home must be 10 years old or older, and you must be a GVEC, CPS or NBU residential customer with at least one year at the address. Improvements are subject to city approval and available funds. How: Submit the SHEEP application and call Neighborhood Services at 210-619-1650 for a pre-upgrade inspection.
