Bryan Texas Utilities: cut kWh, then claim SmartHOME

If your bill says Bryan Texas Utilities, you are on a municipal utility. There is no Power to Choose switch. The money is in the envelope of the house — attic, windows, solar screens — and in how you run the AC in a hot-humid climate.

SmartHOME rebate

Owner-occupied single- or multi-family homes in BTU territory with electric central heat and air can get 10–25% of project cost back for attic or exterior wall insulation, ENERGY STAR whole-window replacement, or solar screens. Fiscal year runs October 1–September 30. Mobile homes, additions, and RVs do not qualify.

What to do first

Run the planning audit with utility set to Bryan, then look at attic R-value. SmartHOME often needs existing attic insulation at R-20 or less. Solar screens are usually the cheapest qualifying measure in this climate.

Rates are set, usage is not

BTU city residential all-in power was about 11.4¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh in mid-2026 board materials, plus an $11 monthly availability charge. Riders (PCRC, TCRC) move. We use a planning rate, not your tariff.
