It’s almost time to bundle up, Michigan. And we want to make sure you have everything to keep you safe, healthy and warm this winter. You don’t have to feel left out in the cold when there are caring neighbors like us, just a call, tap or click away. From heating your home to keeping your family nourished, resources are available for you and anyone you know who could use a helping hand.
Count on us to meet you where you are with these payment and energy assistance programs and resources:
Struggling to pay off a balance on your bill? Make payment arrangements based on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly schedule that works best for you! Like many buy-now, pay-later vendors, you put a
down payment towards your balance, and then we’ll spread the remainder out, so there’s no guesswork, just flexibility.
Get your personalized Budget Plan based on your energy use over the last 12 months and have peace of mind with consistent payments year-round. We’ll regularly review your account and make any adjustments to your monthly payment, so you’re not caught off guard with high energy bills during the winter and summer.
The Consumers Affordable Resource for Energy (CARE) Program can help State Emergency Relief recipients easily manage energy bills with an affordable, fixed monthly rate. And with an on-time CARE payment history, you can enjoy past-due balance forgiveness.
Looking for ways to improve your energy use this season? Did you know we offer a free Home Energy Analysis? Just give us a call, add us to your calendar, and on your scheduled date, we’ll come out, assess your energy usage and provide helpful tips and free upgrades to lower energy and costs.
We know this time of year can be a little rough. While we can’t meet all your needs, we know Michigan 2-1-1 strives to come close. 2-1-1 is your free one-stop shop for local and statewide community resources. When you dial 2-1-1or visit mi211.org, neighbors on the other end are ready to bridge the gap between you and agencies able to support in your time of need.
