Find Your Perfect Smart Thermostat

As an electric cooperative member, you have an opportunity to purchase a smart thermostat for as little as $25 with free installation. These Wi-fi-enabled thermostats provide greater control of your heating and cooling needs, offer alerts and reminders, and can be controlled with your mobile devices for added convenience.

Save on Power Costs

After your new thermostat is installed, the Connect to Save program will make minimal adjustments to your settings during periods of high electricity demand. These small actions multiplied across thousands of homes will enhance power reliability and create big savings on wholesale post costs. As an at-cost provider of electricity, saving on wholesale power costs benefits all members by keeping costs low for the entire electric cooperative.
