JACKSON, Mich., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With the arrival of
cold weather in Michigan Consumers Energy is alerting customers to a free
service to help track their home energy use. The service is called the Bill
Analyzer and is available via the utility's website,
http://www.consumersenergy.com . Approximately 192,000 Consumers Energy
customers are using the service, an 18 percent increase in the past year.
"The Bill Analyzer service provides helpful information about how
customers can manage their home energy usage," said Sue Swan, the utility's
vice president of customer operations. "The Bill Analyzer service allows
customers to examine their current electric and gas use in comparison to
previous months. Knowing how a home uses energy is helpful in making
decisions about how and when to conserve energy," noted Swan.
First-time users of the Bill Analyzer will need to fill out an
easy-to-follow form to set up a customer profile at the utility's Online
Customer Service Center.
The Bill Analyzer service will ask for basic information on a home,
such as number of rooms, kinds of appliances and number of residents. The
service then provides a near-instant analysis to help customers understand
why energy use has increased or decreased for a selected period. Consumers
Energy's website also includes a section called "Energy Answers" which
provides free tips on home and business energy conservation, as well as
other services.
Consumers Energy, the principal subsidiary of CMS Energy, provides
natural gas and electricity to nearly 6.5 million of the state's 10 million
residents in all 68 Lower Peninsula counties.
