Thermostat replacements

If I replace my old thermostat with a new model, will I receive an additional enrollment incentive?

Events
Notifications
  • Events may start and end without notification. An image may appear on your thermostat or web/mobile application letting you know when an event is underway. Some thermostat providers may send notifications prior to an event.
Event time frames

Event Season

  • May 1ST- Sept 30th.

Event Duration

  • Events will typically run for 1 hour but may last up to 4 hours in extreme conditions.

Event Times

  • Events may be called anytime between 6am-10pm.

Excluded times

  • Weekends and Holidays will be excluded except during extreme grid emergencies.
What to expect from a Power Flex event.
You maintain control/Easy Opt Out
  • When an event is called, you’ll maintain control and can easily opt out by adjusting the temperature setting from your thermostat or thermostat app on your phone.

Degree Change

    • Thermostat settings will be raised 4 degrees. Once an event ends, your thermostat will return to its previous set point.

How warm might my home/business get?

  • This depends on your thermostat temperature setting prior to the event. Temperatures in your home or business may not increase the full 4 degrees depending on the event duration as well as your home/building’s efficiency and insulation factors. If the temperature in your space rises beyond 4 degrees, your system will activate to lower the temperature regardless of if the PowerFlex event is still going. You can always opt out on your thermostat or app if your space becomes uncomfortable at any point.

What if my air conditioning is off?

  • If your air conditioner is not in cooling mode, your thermostat will not be called into an event and the temperature setting will not be raised.
