About us

Alliant Energy's PowerHouse is an award-winning educational program designed to help you improve the energy efficiency, safety and comfort of your home.

Along with this Web site, the core of our effort is the PowerHouse television show. This half-hour weekly program has a unique focus on home energy, including heating, cooling, insulation, lighting, safety and more.

Each week, hosts Megan Turner and Pete Seyfer demonstrate easy do-it-yourself projects, explore new energy technology and ask the experts for tips that you can use in your own home.

PowerHouse debuted in 1996, and is now in its beginning its 13th season. The show is written and produced by Alliant Energy, with production by KCRG Studios in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

About our website

• All the articles found on the PowerHouse website are written by Alliant Energy. All content is reviewed and approved by our team of energy efficiency and safety experts.
• Our "factoids" are official statistics from the U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration.
• Our energy savings calculators were developed by Michaels Engineering of Eau Claire, Wis.

To help our visitors find the information they need, we often provide links to other informative websites, as well as brochures and fact sheets produced by other knowledgeable organizations.

We generally limit these "outside" links to government agencies, trade associations and non-profit groups, and we make every effort to ensure that the information they provide is accurate and up-to-date.

In some articles featuring new technology, we may mention specific manufacturers by name to fairly credit their innovations. We also provide links to industry-leading major manufacturers that are customers of Alliant Energy.
