Energy optimization means using energy wisely. HomeWorks offers energy efficiency programs designed to reduce the energy use of participating members by encouraging investment in energy efficiency measures. These programs are funded through an Energy Optimization Surcharge on member's monthly electric bills (as required by Michigan Public Act 295 of 2008).

Be Green. Save Green.
We all want to save money - and you can save while helping your
cooperative save! You can get a discounted Dual Fuel
heating rate, or receive a monthly bill credit for your electric water
heater, when you help us reduce our peak power use.
Simply allow us to install a control box (like the one shown below) on
your heating system or water heater. When electricity is most
expensive, we’ll send a signal to the box and power to the unit
is cut for a short while.
Savings from reducing the cooperative’s power bill are passed on
to all of our member-owners, and you also help reduce the need
for new power plants to meet growing peak demand.

What do the lights on your Demand Response control box mean?
The C light has no significance.
When the red A light is lit, your water heater is under control.
A red B light means your heating or cooling system is being
controlled.
The T light, which is yellow or amber, has no significance.
Note: Once the control period ends, it can take up to 15 minutes
for your water heater or heating-a/c to start up again.
