Smart thermostat rebates
General advice. Each program’s own rules come first.
- Check compatibility
- Make sure the thermostat works with your system, especially a heat pump or a hybrid system with backup heat.
- Claim quickly
- Thermostat rebates often have short claim windows after purchase. Keep the receipt and the model number.
- Look at demand-response programs
- Some utilities pay you to let them adjust your thermostat slightly during peak hours. These usually stack with purchase rebates.
