ENERGY STAR® Smart WiFi Thermostat Incentive Program (BYOT)
For the average American household, almost half the annual energy bill goes to heating and cooling. Being smart about how you control your temperature settings will help you save money and stay comfortable in your home. A Wi-Fi connected smart thermostat will allow you to set schedules to reduce your utility consumption during peak periods, when you are away from home and while you are sleeping.
To assist you with response to the Time-of-Use rate, PWC is offering an $80 bill credit for an ENERGY STAR® Wi-Fi- connected smart thermostat. Smart technology enables you to remotely control your home’s temperature from your smartphone or smart device. In addition, smart thermostats have added features that automatically adjust temperature settings based on your preferences and help you track your HVAC unit’s energy trends and performance.
Gain greater control over your thermostat and save on you electric bill. Find out how you can qualify for up to $160 in bill credits for the replacement of (2) two conventional thermostats with (2) two new ENERGY STAR Wi-Fi connected smart thermostats.

What are the peak Time-of-Use (TOU) hours?
Depending on the time of day and season, the price of electricity can vary. PWC has implemented a time-of-use (TOU) rate for all residential, small non-residential and medium non-residential customers. This rate offers customers a discount for electricity consumed during off-peak hours. Customers can reduce their electric utility bill by simply shifting some of their usage for such activities as washing and drying clothes to the off-peak hours. Customers who can adjust their thermostat setpoint a couple of degrees during on-peak hours can benefit by using less electricity when the cost of electricity is higher.
