Yes! You have full control and can opt out of any event through our app or website. However, participation helps maximize your earnings.
Events typically occur during hot summer afternoons (2-6 PM) when air conditioning demand is highest, usually 15-25 times per summer.
Event rewards are credited to your Meltek account after each event you take part in, and you get paid within 2 weeks of each event. You can track your earnings there and withdraw them by bank transfer or as gift cards.
The program is completely free to join. There are no monthly fees, setup costs, or hidden charges.
