Weatherization and Efficiency Programs
Round It Up & Home Uplift
KUB has a long legacy of supporting low-income weatherization programs through its Round It Up program and partnerships with TVA and the Knoxville-Knox County Community Action Committee (CAC). These programs have provided home energy upgrades for thousands of KUB customers since 2015.
KUB committed to an annual contribution of $1 million for home weatherization starting in FY21. These funds are used in conjunction with TVA's Home Uplift funds, customer Round It Up contributions, and other sources to serve additional KUB customers.
You Can Help!
Since 2015, KUB customers have been making a difference through Round It Up. With Round It Up, customers may put spare change to work helping others by having KUB automatically round their bill up to the next dollar and send 100 percent of that money to support weatherization and efficiency improvements for customers in need.
If a customer chooses to participate, their maximum would be $11.88 per year, and the average is around $6. The program is voluntary, so customers can opt in or decide to stop contributing at any time. They just log into their account and choose Billing Options. For the Round It Up section, select “Enrolled” or “Unenroll.” Customers can also call KUB at 865-524-2911 for assistance with their selection.
