Your Potential Home Upgrades

Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats can help you save money by automatically adjusting the temperature at set times. This way, you don’t waste energy when you’re away from home or sleeping.

Water Pipe Insulation
Wrapping your water pipes helps prevent heat from escaping, so your water heater doesn’t use as much energy to keep your water hot.

Carbon Monoxide Detector
Don't leave your family's safety up to chance. A properly functioning carbon monoxide detector can alert you to potentially dangerous gas leaks in your home.
How do I know if I qualify for the Helping Neighbors Program?
- To be eligible for this program, you must receive electric, natural gas or combination (electric and natural gas) service from Consumers Energy. You can participate if you live in a single-family home, mobile home, apartment or condo with four or fewer connected units. If you’ve participated in the last five years, you are not eligible.
- Your household income must meet the program guidelines. If not, check out our Home Energy Analysis Program.
What happens during the Home Energy Analysis?
A professional will come to your home and install energy saving products. After that, we will provide you with a report containing additional tips on how to lower your energy bill. If an in-person appointment doesn’t work for you, we also offer virtual assessments.
How long will the visit take?
The visit may take up to 90 minutes.
Does the program cost anything?
The program is completely free. We will provide you with energy saving products and tips on how you can save more on your energy bill at no cost to you. If you qualify, we may even do a second visit to your home to install more products.
Can I cancel or reschedule my visit?
Yes, you may cancel or reschedule your visit at any time. Simply visit our scheduling page to make changes.
