Where do the utility rates come from?

HomeHelp looks up electric utilities serving your ZIP code using public tariff data. Rates are typical published figures for planning — your actual bill depends on your usage, plan, and any time-of-use pricing, so confirm details with your utility.

Can HomeHelp lower my energy bill directly?

HomeHelp doesn't sell energy or switch your provider. It helps you understand your rates, find incentives that reduce upgrade costs, and plan the efficiency projects — insulation, heat pumps, sealing — that lower bills over time.

Does it work with solar, batteries, or smart thermostats?

Yes. You can register solar equipment, batteries, EV chargers, and smart thermostats as appliances in your home record, track their warranties and maintenance, and find incentives for adding them.

Is this tax or financial advice?

No. HomeHelp gathers program information to help you plan and points you to the official source. Amounts, income limits, and deadlines change, so confirm details with the program or a tax professional before you buy.

Do I need to be a paying member?

No. Setting up your home, seeing local utility information, and browsing incentives is part of the free HomeHelp account.
