Thermostat Rewards is a feature that helps customers enroll in programs with electric utilities, which may qualify customers for special savings or incentives.
These programs are usually run during the hot summer months when electrical demand is high due to air conditioner use. By enrolling in a supported program, customers allow their utility provider to offset their thermostat setpoint during peak hours to lessen the load on the power grid. Utility providers may also lower the temperature before peak hours to increase comfort before the setpoint is increased during peak hours.
Note : Any customer enrolled in Thermostat Rewards is able to opt out of a single event or opt out of the program entirely at any time. Opting out will have an effect on available savings/incentives offered through the program.
The Thermostat Rewards program is offered for customers in supported markets using Alarm.com-connected thermostats.
To opt into the Thermostat Rewards program:
- Log into the customer website.
- In the Thermostats card, click >.
- Click Thermostat Rewards.
- Click Settings and Notifications.
