ENERGY STAR® Smart Thermostat Rebate
Rebate Amount: 100% of the cost, up to $50 per device
Control your home’s temperature from any smart device with an ENERGY STAR‑certified smart thermostat. Ensure your home or business is comfortable upon arrival without wasting energy while you’re away.
How Does it Help?
Energy Savings
Can help reduce cooling costs as much as 10% per year compared to manual or programmable thermostats.
Control From Anywhere
Monitor and adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere using a smartphone app.
Detailed Insights
Many devices offer detailed energy reports to keep track of usage.
Before You Get Started
- Discover eligible smart thermostat devices through ENERGY STAR®’s certified product list.
- It’s best to choose a smart thermostat that is compatible with your heating and cooling system. If you have a high‑efficiency HVAC system, use a thermostat made by the same brand to ensure the system performs at its highest efficiency.
- Each product uses slightly different features to help you save energy, so choose a device that is right for you. Common features range from remote control, geofencing and even temperature preference learning.
