Reaching Out to Renters

When it comes to saving energy, consumers who rent their homes often face a unique set of barriers compared to homeowners. They typically cannot make changes to the HVAC systems, windows and appliances in the spaces they rent and may even be limited in making smaller weatherization upgrades.

This fact sheet in the Questions to Ask to Become a Smarter Energy Consumer series provides renters with four important questions that they can ask their electricity providers and their landlords in order to take control of their energy usage and make their homes more comfortable and more energy efficient.

We encourage you to share this resource with your customers who rent to help them understand the questions they should ask to become smarter energy consumers. A version of the fact sheet can also be found on our consumer-facing website, and social media resources are available for members on request.
