A simple upgrade to a smart thermostat could help you save

Heating and cooling can account for more than half of a home’s energy use. Smart thermostats offer an easy, more efficient way to keep your home comfortable while using less energy. Unlike traditional programmable thermostats, they learn household preferences, automatically adjust for comfort and efficiency, and can be controlled from anywhere using a Wi-Fi–enabled device. By optimizing heating and cooling, smart thermostats help avoid wasting energy when you are away or asleep.

SMECO members can make this upgrade with Switch2Earn. Eligible members can receive a smart thermostat at no additional cost, including professional installation. This seamless upgrade supports more efficient energy use and rewards participation in the SmartTemp Program, with up to $50 in annual bill credits.

Enjoy added comfort, better control, and a more proactive approach to home energy use.
