Smart thermostats are designed to offer you more control over your comfort and energy savings. With a smart thermostat, you can:
- Change your home’s heating and cooling settings from your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
- Enjoy the ease and convenience of saving energy when you choose to “set it and forget it.”
- Improve your comfort and performance by allowing your thermostat to learn your preferences and automatically adjust temperature settings.
- Have your Wi-Fi login credentials accessible.
- Download the First Alert App to streamline your upgrade appointment. You’ll need the app to connect your device to Wi-Fi and participate in SmartTemp.
- If you are unable to complete this step before your appointment, your contractor can walk you through the process during installation.
Unfortunately, you are not eligible for Switch2Earn. If you already have an eligible Ecobee, Honeywell Home, LUX, or Sensi smart thermostat, you can still earn bill credits by enrolling in SmartTemp. Contact us at SMECOSmartTemp@icf.com with questions.
Nothing changes! Your new smart thermostat is pre-enrolled in SMECO’s SmartTemp Program, which helps you use your smart thermostat to optimize your home’s energy use when energy demand is high. You can earn up to $50 in bill credits each year you participate. Learn more at thermostatrewards.com/smeco/faq.
