Want to save money?
Smart thermostats learn what temperatures you like so they can keep you comfortable and help you save energy. With our Smart Thermostat Program, you can get rewarded for using less energy when everyone else is using more! And, by enrolling for free, your thermostat can do it for you automatically, but you always will remain in control.
IEC members get a financial incentive for signing up for the program.
You need to be an active IEC member in good standing and have Wi-Fi to participate. Read below to learn more about how to save.

- By enrolling in IEC’s program, your thermostat will be adjusted during excessive energy or peak use times. Those events can consist of a period in the summer from June-August or a period in the winter from December-February. Curtailment events happen when there’s unusually high demand on the grid and we may need you to use less energy on heating or cooling during that time.
- There can be multiple events throughout the year. Events will not exceed three times per week or 15 times per season (summer or winter).
- Events can occur at any time of year between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., or 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Your thermostat only will be controlled between 2-4 degrees. The maximum amount of time for a single event will be 4 hours.
- The member always has the ability to override thermostat settings; however, overriding more than three (3) times in a year will deem you ineligible for the $25 annual credit.
