Smart is as smart does.

Switching to a smart thermostat is smart indeed, filled with benefits and savings:

  1. Reduce your energy bill by up to 25%. These smart devices can analyze your usage patterns, provide energy consumption reports and offer suggestions for energy-saving adjustments. 
  2. Control the thermostat remotely through an app, which means you can adjust the temperature while away, ensuring a comfortable temperature upon your return. 
  3. Smart indeed, many devices have learning algorithms that adapt to your schedule and temperature preferences over time. They can analyze data and make automatic adjustments to optimize comfort and save energy. 
  4. Money in the bank! When you enroll your smart thermostat with OPPD, you'll receive $100 in bill credits. Plus, an additional $30 bill credit every year you participate.
     

Here's how to start saving:

  • Enroll a qualified smart thermostat via your thermostat app or online
  • Get a one-time $100 bill credit after enrollment plus an additional $30 bill credit, in September, every year you participate.*
    *Devices purchased at a discounted or free rate as part of any OPPD promotional offer do not qualify for the one-time $100 bill credit.​
  • OPPD will manage your A/C through your smart thermostat, up to 15 week days per year, during peak energy times to help reduce load and keep energy costs low.**
    **In cases of system emergency, OPPD may be required to act outside of program parameters as necessary.
  • During an event, after precooling for an hour, your thermostat adjusts the set temperature up to an additional 1 to 3 degrees. Your thermostat management tool will ensure the room temperature is back to your desired setting after the event has concluded. 


What about renters?

Renters are also eligible! Yes, just fill out OPPD's landlord consent form and email it to SmartThermostat@oppd.com when enrolling your device.
