changes to services offered. The EDA currently offers discounts to residents who utilize the HES
services. The EDA/HES partnership will continue to offer the same structure as outlined in the
attached agreement. CEE will continue to provide seasonal promotional materials and program
collateral highlighting the City’s contribution to visits, and have outreach staff available to attend
events.
An extension of the existing contract is necessary to continue the Home Energy Squad services.
There are no changes to the Agreement other than updating the expiration date. Everything else will
remain the same. The amended contract will be effective April 1, 2024 and expire December 31,
2026.

possible, including high-efficiency showerheads, faucet aerators, door weather stripping,
programmable or smart thermostats and LED light bulbs.
2.Conduct Home Energy Squad Energy Planner Visits. CEE will conduct Home Energy
Squad Energy Planner visits to help homeowners identify and implement energy savings
opportunities in their homes. The Energy Planner visit will include the direct install of
energy-saving materials where possible, including high-efficiency showerheads, faucet
aerators, door weather stripping, programmable or smart thermostats and LED light
bulbs. In addition, it will include a blower door test to check for air leaks, visual
inspection of insulation levels with use of infrared camera as weather permits, heating
system and hot water heater combustion safety tests and a report to the homeowner on
recommended energy upgrades (if resident is a renter, permission from the landlord may
be required for doing these additional diagnostic services).
The co-pay and exact package of services are subject to change based on
programmatic considerations, including CEE’s agreement with utilities and other factors
which are outside the bounds of this agreement. CEE will notify the EDA prior to any

changes taking effect. CEE will lead a community-based marketing campaign to promote
the program. The EDA shall provide assistance in developing and implementing this
campaign.
3.Providing Air Sealing and Insulation quotes. If air sealing and/or insulation are
recommended at a Home Energy Squad Energy Planner visit, CEE may provide a quote
to the resident that would be honored by participating insulation contractors. CEE is an
independent third party to any transaction between the resident and the insulation
contractor. CEE does not receive any compensation from insulation contractors, nor
does CEE, CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy accept any liability for any work
performed by these contractors. Any agreement for work done by the contractors is
solely between the contractor and the resident.
4.Follow-up services and insulation contractor assistance. If major upgrades (air
sealing, insulation and furnace or boiler replacement) are recommended at the visit,
CEE will follow-up with homeowners through email or by phone to encourage
implementation. When a quote is provided CEE has the ability to schedule insulation
work directly with a qualified contractor making it easier for homeowner to move forward
with recommendations. CEE will also provide contact information to program participants
who have follow-up questions after the home visit.
