Community Energy Savings Smart Thermostat Program for Columbiana Residents | Enroll Today
Reward yourself!
Did you know that using a smart thermostat can help you not only reduce energy use but also earn a reward? Once you have an eligible, Wi-Fi-connected thermostat installed, you can earn $55 by enrolling your thermostat in the City of Columbiana Electric Department’s Community Energy Saving Program.
The City of Columbiana is participating in Community Energy Savings: Smart Thermostat Program, a voluntary program designed to help reduce the cost of electricity. The cost of some electric bill components, like transmission, are based in part on the periods of highest energy consumption in the prior year. Reducing the demand for electricity during those peak periods translates into lower costs for everyone in the community in the following year. By enrolling your smart thermostat in this program, you agree to let the City of Columbiana Electric Department make brief, small adjustments to your thermostat during these times of high electric demand.
Here’s how the program works:
- Purchase an eligible smart thermostat if you don’t already have one. Currently eligible smart thermostats can be found here: https://enrollmythermostat.com/faqs/amp-community-energy-savings.
- Electric customers of the City of Columbiana Electric Department, which participates in Efficiency Smart®, are eligible for up to a $100 rebate on qualifying smart thermostats: https://www.efficiencysmart.org/columbiana-ohio
- Install and enroll your smart thermostat. Go to https://enrollmythermostat.com/amp-community-energy-savings to confirm your eligibility and enroll.
- Receive a $55 e-gift card after you’ve successfully enrolled in the program.
- The City of Columbiana Electric Department may call brief, limited events where your thermostat is automatically adjusted. This will only occur from May 1 through Sept. 30, and we will adjust your thermostat by no more than four degrees for fewer than four hours during times of high demand.
- You can conveniently opt out of an event by changing your thermostat settings.
- Maintain your enrollment in the program and you will be entered for a chance to win a $250 e-gift card at the end of each summer season.
