Breaking: Meltek Launches New Energy-Savings Rewards App

BROOKLYN, NY, November 25, 2025 /Meltek.com/ -- The new Meltek app launch is officially here, bringing exciting new ways to earn rewards by managing your home energy use. Now available on both iOS and Android, this innovative application rewards users for reducing energy consumption during peak demand hours.

The app features a new seamless deposit option that enables users to access additional gift cards with bonus values of up to 20% from more than 450 popular brands through Meltek’s partnership with Prizeout. Furthermore, recent Meltek.com updates have streamlined the process, allowing users to sign up in minutes.

Specifically, the app works by sending alerts before high-demand energy events during the summer, giving users the opportunity to make simple adjustments, such as turning down thermostats or unplugging devices. Through these minor changes, many users earned over $100 last summer and up to over $1,000, demonstrating the significant earning potential available to everyday energy consumers.

Meltek Launches New App Offering Instant Gift Card Rewards

The newly released Meltek mobile application marks a significant development in consumer energy management technology. This free service is now available on both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store [1]. Designed with user convenience in mind, the app allows utility customers to earn rewards while simultaneously reducing pollution.

‍

New app now available for download on iOS and Android

More than 6,000 users have already joined the platform and started earning rewards while contributing to environmental protection [2]. The app features a completely redesigned user interface with modern navigation and visual effects for an enhanced user experience [1]. Users receive alerts before high-demand energy periods, typically during hot summer days, when reducing electricity usage is most beneficial [3]. The platform operates without changing customers’ existing relationships with their electric service providers [1].

‍

Users can sign up in minutes with their utility account info.

Getting started with Meltek requires minimal effort. Users simply need to download the app and register using their basic contact information and utility account details [3]. Currently, the service is available to customers of Con Edison, PSEG Long Island, Orange & Rockland, and Rockland Electric Company [1]. Once registration is complete, Meltek verifies the account through email and begins tracking energy usage patterns [4]. The platform then uses this data to calculate rewards based on electricity consumption reductions during peak demand events.

‍

No hardware installation required ‍

Unlike many competitors in the demand response sector, Meltek operates as a software-only solution [5]. This approach eliminates the need for purchasing or installing physical devices in users’ homes or businesses. Although connecting smart home devices can enhance the experience, they are entirely optional [2]. Users can participate effectively by manually adjusting their energy usage when alerted, such as postponing appliance usage, modifying thermostat settings, turning off unnecessary lights, or unplugging electronic devices [6].

The streamlined platform offers multiple redemption options. Users can transfer savings directly to their bank accounts through Stripe or choose from various gift card options [1]. Moreover, the app includes robust security features, including advanced threat monitoring and enhanced data protection, to safeguard user information [1]. The overall customer experience benefits from faster loading times, streamlined login processes, and improved accessibility features that make the platform easier to use for everyone.

Users Earn Rewards by Reducing Energy During Peak Hours

The financial incentive mechanism behind Meltek’s energy conservation program operates through a straightforward process that rewards users for reducing their electricity usage when it matters most.

‍

Meltek sends alerts before high-demand events

Notification timing is carefully designed to give users adequate preparation time. Meltek typically sends alerts 1-4 hours before an energy-saving event begins [2]. For some events, users receive notifications up to a full day in advance [3]. These timely alerts arrive via the user’s preferred communication channel, text message, email, or push notification [2]. Consequently, participants can plan their day accordingly and maximize their energy-saving potential.

Users can customize their alert preferences by adding up to two emails and two phone numbers to ensure everyone in the household receives notifications [7]. For push notifications, each interested person should download the app and log into the shared Meltek account [7].

‍

Users take simple actions like adjusting thermostats or unplugging devices

Once notified, participants can implement various strategies to reduce their electricity consumption:

Raise air conditioning temperature by 2-4 degrees

Pre-cool homes 1-2 hours before events

Postpone using large appliances like dishwashers and washing machines

Turn off unnecessary lights and unplug electronic devices

Avoid using electric dryers, ovens, or pool pumps [8]

These small adjustments yield significant results. Indeed, many top earners receive substantial rewards from simple actions such as thermostat adjustments and turning off lights [2]. For maximum earnings, some New York residents choose to shut down everything and leave their homes during energy-saving events [9].

‍

Energy savings are measured and converted into rewards

Meltek precisely tracks electricity reduction compared to the user’s baseline usage [8]. Rewards are calculated by multiplying verified energy reduction by the program’s incentive rate, which ranges from $1.00 to $3.00 per kilowatt-hour reduced, depending on the utility and season [8].

After each event, Meltek processes most payments within 1-2 days through its QuickPayConnect feature [10]. Users can transfer their earnings directly to their bank accounts or convert them into gift cards from popular retailers like Amazon, Apple, and Target [11].

‍

Meltek Partners with Prizeout to Boost Gift Card Value ‍

Expanding the value proposition of their energy saving rewards, Meltek has forged a strategic partnership with Prizeout Corp., an ad-tech company that specializes in digital gift card solutions. This collaboration enhances the rewards program by offering users increased purchasing power when redeeming their energy savings.

‍

Users can redeem rewards through Prizeout’s marketplace

After accumulating rewards from reducing electricity during peak demand periods, Meltek users can access Prizeout’s online marketplace directly through the app. Users simply navigate to the “Gift Cards + Bonuses” section in the mobile app or website after logging in [11]. This integration provides a seamless redemption experience where energy savings can be converted into digital gift cards rather than standard cash payouts.

‍

Gift cards from 450+ brands with up to 20% bonus value

Notably, the Prizeout marketplace features more than 450 national and regional brands [6][13]. These include popular retailers such as Target, Home Depot, Amazon, Apple, and Uber. What sets this redemption option apart is the bonus value added to each gift card. Users can receive up to 20% extra value on their rewards [6]. For instance, redeeming $100 worth of energy savings with a 20% bonus results in a $120 gift card at no additional cost [1].

‍

Instant delivery of digital gift cards via email

Once users select their preferred brand and gift card amount, the digital cards are delivered instantaneously via email [6][13]. This immediate fulfillment process involves no associated fees or waiting periods, allowing users to access their enhanced rewards without delay.

‍

Referral Program and Smart Device Integration Maximize Earnings

Beyond basic energy-reduction rewards, Meltek offers additional earning opportunities that significantly boost user earnings. Users who enjoy the platform can amplify their savings through strategic program features.

‍

Earn $10 for every successful referral

Meltek automatically provides each user with a unique referral code upon signup, accessible in the app’s ‘Referrals’ section [14]. Both the referrer and new user receive $10 when the referred person’s utility approves their enrollment or they enable QuickPayConnect [15]. Currently, eligible utilities include Con Edison, PSEG Long Island, and Orange & Rockland, Rockland Electric Company, though users can refer anyone nationwide for future rewards as service territories expand [14].

‍

Connect smart thermostats, EVs, and batteries for automated savings

Through smart device integration, users can maximize earnings with minimal effort. After connecting electric vehicles, EV chargers, smart thermostats, or home batteries, Meltek’s system automatically adjusts settings during peak demand periods [12]. This automation works even when users aren’t home, allowing for passive income generation. Users maintain full control and can override any adjustments if desired [12].

‍

Conclusion

The Meltek app represents a significant advancement in connecting energy conservation with tangible rewards. Users now benefit from a streamlined platform that requires no special hardware and offers substantial financial incentives for simple actions like adjusting thermostats or deferring appliance use during peak demand periods. The partnership with Prizeout enhances these rewards considerably, allowing users to receive up to a 20% bonus value when selecting gift cards from over 450 popular brands. Additionally, the app’s user-friendly design allows anyone with a compatible utility account to join within minutes, making energy conservation both accessible and profitable. Evidence of this accessibility appears in the growing user base, which already exceeds 6,000 participants across eligible utility service areas. The potential for earnings becomes clear when examining last summer’s results, where top participants earned over $1,000 through consistent participation.

Beyond individual rewards, Meltek contributes to broader environmental goals by reducing strain on power grids during critical periods. This dual benefit, personal savings alongside reduced pollution, creates a compelling reason for residential customers to participate. The referral program and smart device integration further expand earning opportunities, allowing users to maximize their rewards through automation and community growth.

The future looks promising for Meltek users as the platform continues to develop. Whether someone wishes to earn cash deposits through QuickPayConnect or prefers gift cards with bonus value, the system accommodates various preferences while maintaining its core mission. Ultimately, Meltek demonstrates how thoughtful technology can align personal financial interests with positive environmental impact, a balance rarely achieved so effectively in consumer applications.
