Low-income Energy Efficiency Program (LEEP)
Financial assistance for home improvements
GRU's Low-income Energy Efficiency Program assists low-income customers with home improvements that can lower their electric bill, improve comfort and reduce energy use. Eligible participants will work with GRU to determine the improvements that best suit their home, which may include
- Replacing central A/C and heating systems
- Servicing central A/C systems
- Replacing room A/Cs with high-efficiency units
- Repairing leaky ducts
- Installing additional insulation
- Replacing water heater
- Installing a programmable thermostat
- Weather stripping and caulking of doors and windows
- Providing up to 10 compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs)
Program Offer
Program provides, on average, $3,000 of approved upgrades to the home. Rebate will be provided directly to the GRU LEEP Contractor rather than the customer.
How to Apply
Due to the popularity of this program, GRU has met application targets for 2010. We may begin accepting applications again October 1, pending approval of the GRU budget by the Gainesville City Commission.
