Save Energy And Money With Your Smart Thermostat

 

Earn a $50 reward when you sign up for Connected Conservation.

A smart thermostat is a handy tool that can help you save energy and money at home. With our free Connected Conservation program, you can automatically save even more. Here’s how:

1. Enroll your smart thermostat in Connected Conservation, which helps reduce demand when there’s an urgent need for electricity. (Don’t have a smart thermostat? Purchase one here.) 

2. We’ll notify you when there’s a conservation event and adjust your thermostat a few degrees for a short time. You can opt out of any event by manually adjusting your thermostat or from your thermostat’s app.

3. Watch your energy savings adding up without lifting a finger. Plus, earn a $50 reward for participating.1 

Why should I conserve energy?

Conserving energy helps you save on your bill, and it’s something we can all do to reduce demand for electricity across the state when there’s an urgent need. You can automatically use less and save more while still keeping comfortable. And you’ll always have the power to change your thermostat manually or through your thermostat’s app at any time during a conservation event.

Get started in a few easy steps.

To participate, enroll your smart thermostat using the links below.2 If you don’t have a smart thermostat or want to upgrade your current model, buy one from our online partner, EE Incentives.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does Connected Conservation work?
    ERCOT, your Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) or TXU Energy may make a call for conservation during a particularly hot summer afternoon or cold winter morning. We’ll adjust your thermostat a few degrees from your set temperature until there’s no longer an extreme need. Your thermostat will automatically go back to your previous temperature. You can override any Connected Conservation event setting if you prefer not to participate.

  • Am I eligible to participate in the program?
    You must be a current TXU Energy customer and have a qualifying smart thermostat installed at your residential service address. You‘ll also need an active Wi-Fi network connection to your smart thermostat.

  • Which smart thermostats are eligible?
    At this time, only certain Resideo, Amazon and Sensi smart thermostats are compatible with our program. See all compatible models here.

  • I don’t have a smart thermostat – can I still participate? 
    You’ll need a qualifying smart thermostat to sign up. You can purchase one through Resideo, our online partner or a third-party retailer.

  • Will I know when my thermostat’s being adjusted?
    Your app will post an alert when a conservation event starts. If you have push notifications turned on, you’ll get one each time there’s an event.   

  • How do I get my $50 reward card?
    You must sign up for Connected Conservation, agree to the program’s Terms and Conditions and successfully connect your smart thermostat. After you’ve successfully connected, we’ll send you a $50 prepaid card that you can use however you want. It may take up to 4 weeks to confirm your enrollment.

  • Can I sign up with multiple smart thermostats?
    You can connect as many qualifying smart thermostats as are installed in your home. You’ll only be eligible to receive one $50 reward per household, but the more thermostats you sign up, the more energy you’ll conserve.

  • What if I have problems with my thermostat?
    If you have trouble with your thermostat or have questions about installation or use, contact your thermostat manufacturer’s customer support team directly.

  • What if I change my mind and no longer want to participate in the program?
    To completely remove your thermostat(s) from the program, please reach out to us at customerconservation@vistracorp.com. We’ll unenroll you from the program within 5-10 business days.
