Energy Saving Programs

• Home Energy Evaluation – Schedule a visit with an approved contractor who can identify energy-saving upgrades and rebates to help lower your energy use and save on your monthly bills.

Tools to Track Your Usage and Manage Your Bill

• Energy Usage Alerts – Get notified by text or email when your usage spikes, which gives you time to adjust before your bill arrives.
• Budget Billing – Qualifying customers can smooth out the seasonal fluctuations in your monthly bills by paying a flat amount each month based on your average usage over the past 12 months.

Assistance Programs

• EnergyShare Bill Payment Assistance – Qualifying customers can receive up to $600 in heating bill assistance and are eligible to receive a no-cost home energy assessment. The program is not income-based, so anyone in need of assistance may qualify.
