Research shows that when it comes to energy, efficiency is a top priority for consumers. Direct Energy's Reduce Your Use Insights online survey is an easy-to-use, effective way to get specific advice on how to be more energy efficient. "Reduce Your Use Insights is a practical, accessible way to become a more informed consumer," said Robbie Wright , Digital and Innovation vice president. "Direct Energy's focus is on innovations that help our customers use less energy. Reduce Your Use Insights is one of the many new ways we're creating opportunities for consumers to better manage and control household energy costs." Direct Energy customers can take the 10-minute "Reduce Your Use Insights" online survey at no cost. Consumers will be asked a series of multiple-choice questions about their home structure, heating and cooling systems, appliances, and usage habits. The audit then generates energy efficiency scores, potential savings estimates, and a list of recommendations tailored to individual survey responses. Survey takers may receive special discount offers for Direct Energy's products and services that also correspond to personalized information. All of this occurs in real-time, allowing consumers to take immediate action. Direct Energy also will use customer insights captured in the surveys to inform continued future improvements in products and services. The new online audit adds to Direct Energy's growing portfolio of breakthrough solutions that help enable customers to use less energy, reduce costs, and provide greater control and convenience. The company launched the second phase of Direct Your Energy recently in Texas, transforming the monthly bill into an energy management tool that outlines cost estimates per specific appliances such as clothes dryers, heating and cooling systems, and other usage.
