Energy saver Rex Horton builds Pecos homes meeting CPS standards
Rex Horton, Pecos builder, says his all electric house at 1504 Iowa meets Community Public Service Co energy saving standards, one of few in the state. He notes $57 monthly bill and that inflation and loan access hinder affordable housing, planning more affordable homes despite high materials and labor costs. Horton arrived from Lampasas in 1974 and is constructing his fifth Pecos house.
