Most people spend years overpaying on electricity because they don’t know what options exist. When they finally discover a program, they find out:
This site exists because that’s frustrating and unfair.
We research available programs in your state. We break down what’s free, what works, and what’s worth your time. We explain the process in plain language, not utility-company jargon or sales-speak.
Our job is simple: Help you stop wasting money on electricity.
David Stolzman leads this work. For years, he’s worked in energy solutions, helping homeowners and renters navigate the programs and systems designed to save them money.
What he’s learned:
Every program we mention meets three criteria:
Not hypothetically. Not after three years. Real savings you can measure.
No bait-and-switch. No surprise fees. If the terms don’t benefit you, you walk away.
Application processes should be straightforward. If it takes six months and 40 documents, it’s not worth our time recommending it.
If a program doesn’t meet all three, we don’t promote it. Period.
This work is powered by connections to GoThinkPlus, a full-service energy solutions provider. They work directly with customers on implementation, backup power systems, and custom solutions.
This site focuses on education and research. If you want hands-on help applying for programs or installing a backup power system, that’s what GoThinkPlus does.
There actually is. Most states offer programs funded by utility companies or state energy offices specifically to help people reduce consumption or lower bills. Installation, application, and usage are completely free. The catch isn’t with the programs, it’s that most people don’t know they exist.
Some do, some don’t. Income-restricted programs exist, but so do universal programs (available to anyone regardless of income). That’s what the audit checks for. You’ll only qualify for programs you actually qualify for.
Depends on your situation. The average is $800-1,200 annually, but some people save more, some save less. The audit gives you specific numbers based on your actual bill and location.
Some programs work immediately (reduced utility rates start on next month’s bill). Others take a few weeks (audit and installation). You’ll see savings within 1-3 months of applying. This isn’t a years-long investment.
No. Programs are one-time applications. You apply, you qualify (or you don’t), and then you either get the savings or you don’t. There’s no monthly fee, no subscription, no recurring charge. Some programs are literally just a rate reduction on your utility bill.
Renter programs exist and work differently. Some require landlord involvement, some don’t. The audit will tell you what you qualify for and what the next step is. Don’t assume you’re excluded.
Depends on the program. Some are just application + rate change on your bill. Others involve installing equipment (like a backup power system) with a contract attached. The audit breaks down what’s required for each program you qualify for.
Read the terms (we’ll highlight them). Most programs are low-commitment—you can stop using them or apply to something different. Backup power systems come with contracts, but those are clearly stated upfront. No surprises.
The utility company has a financial incentive to keep you in the dark about programs (less program usage = more revenue). This site exists to point you toward programs the utilities themselves offer but don’t advertise. We’re not against the utilities—we just want you to access the money that’s already available to you.
About 15-20 minutes if you have your last electric bill handy. The report comes back within 24-48 hours usually.
No. The audit is free. Getting recommendations is free. Applying for programs is free. If you want to install backup power or get professional installation help, that’s where costs come in—and those are optional services through GoThinkPlus.
