Smart Thermostat Program
Live Smart. Save More. Get all the benefits and easy savings the Smart Thermostat program has to offer.
Help hold down power costs and make a positive impact on the environment by enrolling in the Smart Thermostat Program. Palmetto Electric members can save both ENERGY and MONEY!
How does the program work? Palmetto Electric will sync your thermostat to make small automatic adjustments based on peak times. Before a peak occurs, Palmetto Electric will pre-cool or pre-heat your house, so you stay comfortable while your HVAC system saves energy. Select one of the two easy options below.

Save
Save
Save money and energy with a smart thermostat. Saving money is a byproduct of saving energy. Smart thermostats ensure that your home is at a temperature when it needs to be and eliminates unnecessary HVAC usage. The thermostat automatically adjusts when you're not home. The thermostat also adjusts for a few degrees during "peak" periods. These typically occur on the coldest winter mornings and hottest summer afternoons, when the demand for electricity and the cost of producing it is highest. By reducing your electricity use during peak times, you will be helping reduce costs for all Palmetto Electric members. You will also be eligible for Smart Rewards bill credits.

The service location must be served by Palmetto Electric Cooperative
-

You can opt-out any time after a control event has started, however, if you opt-out and override more than 30% of the peak control events, future incentives will be voided, enrollment in the program will be canceled and may be subject to the exit fee.
