Smart thermostats help conveniently save energy by making slight adjustments to your heating/cooling energy usage patterns to maximize efficiency. To save on time-of-use plans, smart thermostats can also help you reduce your on-peak energy use by scheduling the thermostat to pre-heat or cool your home before on-peak hours start on weekdays. You may consider turning off the ‘geofencing’ or ‘occupancy sensing’ feature on your smart thermostat that recognizes when the house is occupied and automatically adjusts the thermostat. This feature can result in higher energy use during on-peak hours if you are typically away from home during the day and you arrive home during the on-peak period weekdays.
Customers on the Saver Choice Plus legacy rate plan have on-peak hours from 3pm-8pm weekdays.

Smart thermostats help conveniently save energy by making slight adjustments to your heating/cooling usage patterns to maximize efficiency. Smart thermostats can recognize when you are and are not home and automatically adjust the temperature. This is called “geofencing” or “occupancy sensing”. These features don’t mix well with demand-based plans because they can result in higher energy demand during on-peak periods weekdays. If you are on a plan that includes a demand charge, we recommend you turn off the geofencing or occupancy sensing feature. Instead, schedule the thermostat to pre-cool your home before on-peak hours weekdays.
Energy savings vary greatly based on home characteristics and climate conditions. However, a typical home in APS territory can save up to 15% on electricity costs when the smart thermostat is set for savings and it maintains those settings. Smart thermostats can help you maintain the ideal temperature settings for energy savings without even thinking about it so you’re always comfortable and saving money.
There are two ways to receive the $30 rebate.
• Purchase a qualifying thermostat on APS Marketplace and get an instant $30 rebate at checkout.
• Purchase or have purchased a qualifying smart thermostat at another retailer and apply for the $30 credit via the ‘Claim Rebate’ button at APS Marketplace. Rebate will be a $30 bill credit. Please allow one to two billing cycles to receive your bill credit.

Yes, rebates are limited to one thermostat per AC system (up to 5 systems per home).
Internet-connected smart thermostats still should be programmed as a starting point. ENERGY STAR® recommends the following starting points for setting energy-saving temperatures.
A Guide to Energy-Efficient Heating and Cooling
If your smart thermostat has the “learning” feature, it will calculate the amount of time required to cool or heat the house so that it will reach that temperature at the set time. By “examining” the performance of the previous few days, learning thermostats keep track of your schedule and the seasons. In this way, your house is always comfortable when occupied but saving the most energy when unoccupied. Once your thermostat learns your patterns, it puts your heating and cooling on autopilot.
Remember: For every degree warmer you set your thermostat, you can expect to save 2% to 3% on your energy cooling costs.

There are a variety of smart thermostat options and features available. The following is a brief description of terminology and features used by most smart thermostat manufacturers.
All smart thermostats are internet-connected, meaning they can be controlled remotely with a smart phone or computer. Three features that differentiate one smart thermostat from another are: occupancy sensing, geofencing and “learning” capability. Any one of these features or a combination can be offered by smart thermostat manufacturers in order to optimize your home’s comfort while minimizing your energy consumption.
Connected: Web-based, internet-connected, WiFi-enabled and cloud-based are all terms used to describe the ability to control your thermostat remotely via smart phone, tablet or computer. One major advantage of new smart thermostats is the development of intuitive programming screens or online dashboards that make them much easier to set up your home’s cooling and heating schedules and preferences.
Occupancy sensing: Occupancy sensors inside the thermostat or remote sensors placed throughout your home detect motion and therefore the occupancy of a space. They can trigger the HVAC system to automatically adjust to your “at home” settings when you are there or “away” settings when you’re gone.
Geofencing: By using your smart phone to track your whereabouts, smart thermostats can detect if you are within a set proximity of your home and trigger the HVAC system to automatically adjust to your programmed settings. Users set up this virtual fence or “geofence” around their home using the smart thermostat application.
Learning: Learning thermostats may also use home sensors and/or geofencing, but have the added benefit of learning the characteristics of your home, your schedule, and even using weather forecasts to optimize your home’s temperature, keeping you comfortable when you’re home and saving energy when you’re not.

Visit APS Marketplace to find qualifying models. Thermostats must be new; refurbished or used smart thermostats are not eligible for APS rebates.
Note: Not all smart thermostats are the same. The features of smart thermostats can vary widely. To make sure that you are satisfied with your smart thermostat, be sure to review all the features in order to determine which are best suited for your circumstances and your home.

According to ENERGY STAR®, the average household spends more than $2,000 a year on energy bills - nearly half of which goes to heating and cooling. Smart thermostats are the latest technology designed to help you save energy on heating and cooling. These internet-connected devices take your old standard programmable thermostat to the next level in several ways: they give you the ability to “communicate” with your thermostat from anywhere, some can detect the occupancy of a space, and some can create a virtual perimeter around your home so they know when you’re close to home. Some smart thermostats also have the added feature to control your HVAC system automatically by learning your schedule and behavior over time. These smart features help make your home comfortable while keeping your bills low.
Smart thermostats should work with most equipment, although some high-efficiency heating and cooling systems may work only with designated models. To make sure that you’re purchasing a smart thermostat that works with your equipment, be sure to check with the manufacturer.
Every model is different so we suggest you visit the manufacturer website for support and troubleshooting.
