“I earned $180 last summer just by letting my smart thermostat adjust a few degrees during peak hours. Hardly noticed any difference in comfort!”
“The setup was incredibly easy. My smart devices work automatically, and I get paid for helping the grid.”
“As a retiree on a fixed income, every bit helps. This program has been a great way to earn extra money during the summer.”
Typically, we adjust your thermostat by just 2-4 degrees for 1-4 hours during peak demand periods. Most participants don't notice any difference in comfort.
Yes! You have full control and can opt out of any event through our app or website. However, participation helps maximize your earnings.
Events typically occur during hot summer afternoons (2-6 PM) when air conditioning demand is highest, usually 15-25 times per summer.
Earnings are calculated monthly and paid via direct deposit or check. You can track your earnings in real-time through our participant portal.
The program is completely free to join. There are no monthly fees, setup costs, or hidden charges.
