Smart Thermostats

Save Money & Improve Comfort

Heating and cooling account for up to 50% of the energy you use at home.*

When you switch to an ENERGY STAR® certified smart thermostat, you can reduce your home’s annual energy use by:

  • Controlling your home’s heating and cooling system from your computer, tablet, or smartphone
  • Choosing to “set it and forget it” for greater ease of use and convenience, while saving energy
  • Allowing your thermostat to learn your preferences and automatically adjust temperature settings for improved comfort and performance

Plus, you can get an up to $75 or $100 rebate for making the switch!** See below for additional information on the rebates available.
