Your smart thermostat keeps you comfortable when you’re home and saves energy when you’re away.
On really hot summer days, when demand for electricity is highest, Austin Energy will automatically adjust the setting by a few degrees Fahrenheit on your thermostat for no more than 2 hours, usually on weekdays between 3-6pm.
You will always have control and can easily change the temperature to your liking from your thermostat, smartphone, tablet, or computer.
NOTE: Austin Energy offers an additional $25 rebate for simply purchasing and installing a new ecobee thermostat. To apply for this separate rebate, visit www.austinenergy.com/go/powerpartner and click the "Apply Online" button under the How to Apply tab. Your rebate will be processed within 4-6 weeks.
