The cost of goods and services has increased significantly over the years, and due to rising inflation, we can expect the cost of everything to continue to shoot forward—even the cost of energy.

Energy is expensive, whether heating your home in the winter or cooling it off in the summer, so we’re happy to share a solution through OhmConnect that will put money back in your pocket and make the world a better place to live.

What Is OhmConnect?

OhmConnect was started in 2014 with the vision of three men to ensure long-term sustainable energy for all of North America. Their mission is to “rally people to change how and when they use electricity – unlocking clean, affordable, and reliable energy.” After all, energy is something everyone uses, and money is something everyone needs. Putting them together, they’ve figured out a way to help people consume less energy, which will cost less and put more money in their pockets. In addition, consuming less energy makes our environment so much better.

What Are OhmHours and AutoOhms?

OhmHours and AutoOhms are energy-saving events in which OhmConnect forewarns you of an opportunity to save energy.

For the most part, the energy market knows how much energy will be needed in any given region. However, there are occasions when the forecast is inaccurate, and more energy is used than predicted. When this happens, a fast-acting power plant is turned on to balance the system. This results in the overuse of fossil fuels, as two to three times the carbon emissions used in a typical power plant are produced. These expensive, dirty power plants cause pollution to spew into overdrive in those surrounding neighborhoods.

How To Make Money With OhmConnect

OhmConnect lets you know through OhmHours and AutoOhms when you will need less energy to help reduce that pollution frenzy. Using less energy during that one hour a week can result in a better environment and more money because your electricity bill will be less.

OhmConnect will pay you when you use less energy than predicted!

Whenever you successfully use less energy during an OhmHour or AutoOhm, you earn Watts. The more energy you save, the more Watts you earn to redeem in the OhmConnect Rewards Marketplace.

Here’s what you can do with your Watts:

• Enter to win prizes. Every week, big-ticket prizes like Peloton bikes, gift cards, ENERGY STAR appliances, cash, etc., are up for grabs to win
• Play The Wheel to win OhmConnect swag, smart-home technology, thermostats, and other prizes
• Redeem for gift cards to some of your favorite places to shop
• Donate your Watts to environmental causes like 1% For the Planet
• Withdraw as cash to be paid to your PayPal account
