Intercity Challenge
The 城际家庭能源小组®挑战赛 was formed in 2020 to challenge residents to learn how their home uses energy and identify energy-saving opportunities through a home energy visit from the Home Energy Squad. At the end of each calendar year, the city with the highest participation per capita wins. 获胜城市将展出一个巡回奖杯. 所有类型的访问都可以计入目标.
常见问题
Home Energy Squad visits are currently available to any resident of Minnesota with a CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy account.
The Squad brings several ecobee and Nest smart thermostats that can be installed at the visit if they are compatible with the home’s HVAC system. Some customers will qualify for a free smart thermostat or additional utility discounts.
Xcel能源智能恒温器折扣:
- Income qualified electric customers can receive a free ecobee 3 Lite smart thermostat.
- Customers with central AC can receive a $50 instant rebate when they install a smart thermostat.
- 当你注册时，ecobee 3 Lite是免费的 Xcel’s AC rewards program. Or you can receive an instant rebate of $75 applied towards the cost of an ecobee Premium smart thermostat with voice control.
CenterPoint能源智能恒温器折扣:
- Customers with a natural gas heating system can receive a $50 instant rebate on both ecobee and Nest smart thermostats.
For more information on what a smart thermostat is and how they work, you can learn more on the ecobee and Nest websites.
Premium smart thermostats maybe be installed instead of an ecobee 3 Lite for an additional cost. 在你访问期间，向救援队询问这些选择.
The use and installation of smart thermostats is dependent on their compatibility with the home’s HVAC system. There are some cases where the Squad will not be able to provide or install a smart thermostat.
我们知道每个家庭都有不同的机会, which is why the Home Energy Squad doesn't offer cookie-cutter visits. Each visit will be tailored to your needs and interests, including which materials are installed. For example, 如果您已经安装了某些产品, we may skip those and choose to spend more time on diagnostics or helping you plan next steps.
Free visits are available to income-qualified households (<50% AMI). 收入限额每年由明尼苏达州商务部设定.

Even if you have had a utility audit performed on your home in the past, Home Energy Squad can still be a useful program to help reduce energy costs and connect with other resources. If you have completed any energy improvements on your home since your utility audit — especially air sealing or insulation — then we can check to make sure that your installed measures are actually saving energy.
虽然没有必要进行能源审计, the infrared camera (IR) can be a useful tool when there is at least a 20 degree temperature difference between your home’s indoor air temperature and and the outdoor temperature. IR images are one way your auditor can identify specific areas in your home that may have insufficient insulation or air sealing such as your exterior walls or attic. These images are typically collected while the auditor is also running the blower door test, 哪种在所有温度下都有效.
