CommunitySavers® Single Family Program

Ameren Missouri's CommunitySavers® Single Family Program is designed to help income-eligible homeowners, renters, and housing organizations lower their energy bills and reduce maintenance costs. The Single-Family Program is offered by Ameren Missouri in partnership with Spire.

Ways to Save

Starting with a no-cost home energy assessment, a program representative will determine your home's energy saving potential and provide a list of efficient products to install and services to provide in order to optimize energy use. Energy saving products installed and services provided at your home may include:

HVAC Upgrades
Depending on your home's existing equipment age and condition, our energy-saving experts may recommend HVAC system tune-ups or replacements.
Efficient Showerheads and Faucet Aerators
More efficient faucet aerators and showerheads improve water use efficiency and reduce demand on water heaters, saving energy. This could help you save up to 700 gallons of water per year, or the amount needed for 45 showers.
ENERGY STAR® Appliances
ENERGY STAR-certified appliances use between 10% and 40% less energy than standard models, leading to significant energy savings over the life of the units. In addition to the energy savings, new appliances can enhance comfort and satisfaction and reduce maintenance calls.
LED Lighting
Using 80% less energy and lasting up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs, LEDs can generate more light using less power.
Building Insulation
Building shell improvements including air sealing and insulation as well as insulation for hot water pipes may be recommended to reduce heat loss or gain, reducing load on HVAC units and reducing costs.

How it Works

  1. Ameren Missouri selects and pre-qualifies properties or communities primarily working with housing authorities' representatives, property managers and community-based organizations.
  2. Once a community is selected, agencies will be contacted by program staff to discuss scheduling a full energy assessment and additional energy efficiency upgrade components for homes within the community.
  3. If your home has been identified as being eligible for an assessment, either a program representative or your property management staff will work with you to schedule your assessment or notify you of when your assessment is scheduled to occur.
  4. A program-approved Home Energy Advisor will perform your free home energy assessment. During your assessment, the energy advisor will install free energy saving products valued at up to $500 - so you can begin reducing your energy bill immediately.
  5. Based on the home energy assessment, you will also receive information on additional energy upgrades that your home may be eligible for. If eligible, the program approved contractor, or your housing organization will reach out to schedule the follow up visit.
  6. Enjoy your new products and continued energy savings!

Program Requirements

Eligible homes must have an active Ameren Missouri electric account, four or less attached or detached living units, and participants must meet one of the following income eligibility requirements:

  1. Participation in federal, state, or local subsidized housing program.
