Based in Brookfield, Ill., GHE implements programs and supplies products for ComEd and other energy efficiency clients.
The 25 part-time employees make energy efficiency kits for low income-eligible ComEd customers. Kits contain energy saving-devices, including an advanced power strip, LED lightbulbs and more.
“Our staff is making the same kit over and over,” she said. “In an industry where a lot of people would struggle with the repetition of the job, our staff thrives on it.”
The kits are delivered by community action agencies to customers who apply for financial assistance through ComEd’s Energy Efficiency Program.
In 2019, employees assembled 50,000 energy-saving kits for ComEd customers.
