I freakin’ LOVE this company! I really do. I have made over $100 in the last year by simply turning off a few lights for one hour just a few times a week. It is SO easy! Not only am I conserving unnecessary energy (which translates to a lowered electricity bill), I am doing good for the environment (more on this later) and I’m getting paid for it with real cash! Plus, it’s easy to do. The only downside is this incredible service is currently available to California residents only (More states will be opening up!).
📌Our reader Ally shared her experience: I LOVE OHM! We’ve been members for about three months now. Energy saving hours are 2 to 3 times a week, and only for an hour at a time. On rare days you will have two hours. our family has found fun things to do during this time by just sitting outside on the patio talking or playing games. We have already been able to cash in our points for a $100 Amazon gift card. We’re now halfway to our second $100 Amazon gift card. Love this program and of course, help save energy and being conscious of our use of power.

OhmConnect is free to use. Your utility service remains completely unaffected and you can opt-out at any time. You earn points (redeemable for cash) for your #ohmHours participation. You’ll receive about 1 or 2 #OhmHour a week via email and text. Use the time to relax, be with family, read or go for a walk.
How Does This Work?
- Monitoring – Ohmconnect connects and monitors real-time conditions on the electricity grid. When too much energy is being used in your area, dirty and unsustainable power plants are turned on to support this usage.
- Notification – We get a notification via text message or email when our home has been detected for using energy from unsustainable sources. This isn’t our home’s fault. This just means many homes in our area are using electricity at the same time and the sustainable power plant that supports our area can no longer meet the demand.
- Save – For about 30-60 mins, you can choose to save some unnecessary energy usage. Turning off lights, turn off the TV, etc. By choosing to save energy at that time, the state does not have to turn on additional power plants that are bad for the environment and California’s electricity market (energy authorities) pays for this. This time is known as #OhmHour
- Get Paid – Receive up to $100-$300 per year, plus do something good for the environment! Seriously, win-win.
My Personal Experience
I have been a member for about a year now and I actively participate every week (Mainly because I didn’t know I had the option to opt out until now. lol. As such, I’ve been part of every #OhmHour. I’m telling you, it’s easy. In this case, ignorance was a blessing. I don’t want to miss them now!)
