Program FAQs
What is Con Edison’s Smart Thermostat program?
- The Smart Thermostat program is a voluntary program for Con Edison’s residential customers with eligible smart thermostats. Throughout the year, during times of high energy demand, Con Edison may make small, temporary temperature adjustments to enrolled smart thermostats. These adjustments help ease pressure on the grid, reduce the use of less efficient power sources, and support a cleaner energy future — all while keeping energy costs low for everyone.
- Adjustments are limited to 4 degrees or less and last no more than 4 hours. Most events happen between 1–7pm CT, but they may occur between 6am–10pm CT
- Participants will receive up to a $85 a one-time (limit one per household) after successfully enrolling in the program.

How do I sign up for Con Edison’s Smart Thermostat program?
If you already have a qualifying thermostat, select your brand from the list of eligible models and click “Enroll Now.” You’ll be directed to a short enrollment form.
If you don’t have a qualifying thermostat, you can choose one from the list, purchase and install it, then return to complete your enrollment.
Once Con Edison confirms your eligibility, you will receive a confirmation of your enrollment status via the email address linked to your thermostat account.
How will I know that a temperature adjustment is in progress?
What happens during an event?
During an event, your thermostat will be adjusted by up to 4 degrees above or below your current setting for no more than 4 hours.
Sometimes, your thermostat may pre-cool or pre-heat your home before an event starts to help you stay comfortable — though this may not happen if the event is urgent.
