How$martSM
Now you can make efficiency improvements and reduce your Midwest Energy bill at
the same time, often without an up-front capital investment. You don't even need
to own the property! How$martSM provides money for energy efficiency
improvements such as insulation, air sealing and new heating and cooling systems.
Participating customers repay the funds through energy savings on their monthly
Midwest Energy bills.
How$martSM program features:
- No up-front capital is required for qualifying investments. (Customers have the
option of "buying-down" the cost of non-economic improvements when the projected
savings will not cover the entire cost.)
- Monthly How$martSM surcharge covers the cost of qualifying improvements.
The surcharge is always less than the projected savings.
- The How$martSM surcharge is tied to the location. If you move or sell
the property, the next customer pays the surcharge. (Full disclosure to subsequent
customers is required.)
Participating customers must start with an energy audit to determine potential savings.
Midwest Energy will develop a conservation plan with recommended improvements. Customers
may choose the contractor to complete the work. (Contractors must sign a Contractor
Master Agreement, and tenants must have the written consent of their landlord.)
How$martSM is available to all Midwest Energy residential and small commercial
customers. Contact
