Home Performance with Energy Star is a national program for existing homes designed to help homeowners bring their homes up to Energy Star standards for comfort, safety, health, durability, and energy efficiency. This is a national program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources that is offered you by Columbia Water & Light.

Average Energy Savings in Columbia is 29%! Several aspects of your home are covered, including the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system, ductwork, insulation, windows and infiltration. These systems are evaluated separately and collectively to show the potential for improved energy efficiency.

Who can participate?

This program is available to qualified Columbia Water & Light residential electric customers who wish to make their homes more energy efficient and comfortable.

Rather than focusing on a single component, such as single-paned windows, an old air conditioning system, or leaky ductwork, a participating contractor will assess how improvements to all of these components can work together to provide:

• fewer drafts
• consistent temperatures across rooms
• better ventilation and humidity control
• lower utility bills
