During scorching summer days, energy demand peaks as homes and businesses crank up their air conditioners. To help you manage your energy usage, reduce carbon footprint, and control costs during these high-demand times, we’re excited to introduce our ConnectedSolutions program. This initiative is tailored for those with smart thermostats connected to central air conditioning systems.

Sign Up for ConnectedSolutions Electric

When you enroll your qualifying smart thermostat in ConnectedSolutions, you’ll receive an instant $50 reward. Additionally, after the second year of participation, you can earn up to $20 at the end of each electric season, running from May 1 to September 30.

How It Works:

  1. Enrollment and Rewards: Enroll your qualifying smart thermostat and earn $50 instantly.
  2. Peak Demand Management: On peak demand days, your thermostat will precondition your space to prepare for the event, slightly adjusting electricity use for cooling while ensuring your comfort and safety.
  3. Seasonal Rewards: Receive up to $20 in rewards at the end of each season you participate, starting from the second year.

By joining forces with others in your community, every small effort to conserve energy adds up to a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a sustainable future.

Qualifying Thermostats

ConnectedSolutions is powered by smart thermostats linked to central cooling systems. If you don’t have a compatible thermostat yet, you can purchase one from various sources like MassSave Marketplace, local hardware stores, or online retailers.

Here’s a list of qualifying thermostats:

  • Ecobee
  • Emerson Sensi
  • Honeywell Home (including Lyric)
  • Lux
  • Google Nest
  • Building36
  • Vivint.smartHome

Why Choose Demand Response?

During winter’s coldest days, homes increase natural gas consumption, straining the system network. ConnectedSolutions incentivizes automatic reductions in home and small business energy usage during these peak demand periods.

Program Benefits:

  • Automatic Adjustment: Your thermostat preconditions your home and adjusts by a few degrees during an event, typically lasting three to four hours.
  • Frequency: Expect around 10-15 electric events during the summer.
  • Flexibility: You remain in control; if an event isn’t convenient, simply opt out.
