Program Overview
Every summer, June 1 through September 30, there may be up to 20 Cool Rewards conservation events. Here are some other things to know about how an event will work:
- Prior to a conservation event, we will send you an email to notify you an event is occurring later in the day. You may also be notified by your thermostat manufacturer just prior to an event through the app or display on your thermostat.
- Your smart thermostat manufacturer may lower your thermostat(s) temperature a few degrees to pre-cool your home to help preserve your comfort during the conservation event or you may pre-cool your home yourself. Check with your manufacturer (see chart below) to see if they will pre-cool your home. NOTE: ecobee does not currently offer pre-cooling.
- During a conservation event, your thermostat manufacturer will raise your thermostat(s) temperature a few degrees above your set temperature for 2-3 hours. Remember, you can always adjust your thermostat(s) at any time during an event.
- After a conservation event, your thermostat(s) will return to your original setting or schedule.

Cool Rewards Event Details
Our Cool Rewards program is a demand response program, DR for short, that helps to manage energy use when energy demand is high, typically on very hot days. We have partnered with seven well-known smart thermostat manufacturers and each may name the program and manage it differently, but they all help us to manage energy use.
