Michael Fry
Residential Program
Manager
About Michael
As the Residential Programs Manager at Hawaii Energy, my job is to help the team accomplish our mission of helping island families make smarter energy choices, know about and use the incentives available to help save them money and ultimately help Hawaii reach our 100% clean energy goals. We’re particularly focused on those in the community that might need a little extra help and might not already be in the know. To help them save on their energy use, Hawaii Energy offers programs and rebates on money saving appliances that can help reduce thier energy bill – allowing them to spend more where their family might need it more. Itʻs our goal to make sure that everyone knows about these programs and gets the most out of them.
My background is in technology and program management, and my experience cuts across industries - having worked in telecommunications, solar, real estate technology, and with software startups. Iʻve lived and worked in Hawaii for over twenty years and Iʻm passionate about helping folks put technology to use in their daily lives. I have a Bachelor of Science from The Ohio University and earned my Project Management Professionl (PMP) designation here in Hawaii.
How I Save
We’re fortunate to live in a home that gets great cross breezes, so we keep cool by keeping everyone’s windows and doors open in the house to get the full affect. But when the trades die and the heat’s crankin’ we stay cool with split ACs and only run them when the sun’s providing our electricity. Since we are lucky enough to have a solar and battery system, we also try to do our heavy electrical use chores like cooking and laundry when the sun’s shining and the battery is topped off. We’ve had to be a little more mindful about when we do what we do, but the energy savings have been great!

How I Save
My parents instilled in me early growing up in Alaska to not carelessly leave the lights on. Since then, I’ve always tried to adhere to the less-is-more approach to energy usage. Use less of it when you can and use it as efficiently as possible otherwise. Plus, the all-natural cross-ventilation I get at home in Aiea with the breeze is cooler, literally and figuratively, than using the air conditioning anyway.
