The Home Energy Squad® is offered by CenterPoint and Xcel Energy to Minnesota residential customers -homeowners as well as renters. Energy assessments may also be discounted or free for customers who qualify.
"No matter the time of year, at CenterPoint, we offer a variety of tips, tools and programs to help our customers save energy and manage their bills. Through CenterPoint's energy efficiency programs and the Home Energy Squad®, we work to connect our customers with opportunities to boost the energy efficiency of their homes while maintaining comfort," said Brad Steber, CenterPoint Vice President, Minnesota Gas. "Through taking steps to increase the efficiency of their homes, customers can make a difference in cutting energy waste and reducing their monthly energy bills."
During an energy assessment, an efficiency expert identifies areas of energy waste and installs energy-saving measures on the spot such as LED lightbulbs and programmable thermostats. The expert also performs appliance and heating system safety checks and assesses water heater efficiency.
When developing the personalized savings plan, the expert also connects customers to information on utility energy efficiency programs, including rebates to upgrade appliances and equipment to more efficient models as well as programs for air sealing and insulation.
Customer participation in the company's Minnesota energy efficiency programs has reduced carbon emissions by approximately 17.7 million metric tons over the last 31 years, equivalent to removing more than four million cars from the road, while saving customers over $2.9 billion.
