CAYCE, S.C. (July 24, 2025) – More than 2,200 Dominion Energy customers in Columbia communities are eligible for free energy-saving products and services. The company recently hosted a kickoff event to introduce qualifying residents to the Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Program (NEEP), which offers free home energy efficiency assessments and improvements to income-eligible customers.

Customers began receiving information on how to participate in early July. Installations in homes began in July and will continue through September. Dominion Energy representatives will complete installations at no cost.

“The Neighborhood Energy Efficiency Program goes beyond energy savings—it’s about educating customers on how to be more energy efficient and creating long-term savings,” said Derek McDaniel, who manages the program. “By removing cost barriers and offering free energy assessments and upgrades, we’re helping more families create energy efficient homes.”

Energy-saving products available to program-eligible residential customers include the following:

  • LED light bulbs
  • Faucet aerators and low-flow shower heads
  • Electric water heater wraps and pipe insulation
  • Advanced smart power strips
  • Door sweeps and weatherstripping for doors and windows
  • HVAC air filter replacement
  • Digital wall thermometers

Since its launch in 2013, NEEP has helped Dominion Energy customers across the state reduce electricity usage through direct-install improvements and energy education. Over the past decade, customers have saved enough electricity to power approximately 92,000 homes for a year.

Dominion Energy offers a comprehensive portfolio of EnergyWise programs that work together to increase overall energy efficiency and reduce energy usage. For more information about these programs, visit DominionEnergy.com/Savings or call toll-free at 877-510-7234.
