Automatic savings. Automatic rewards.

There is more to your home’s power and energy than flipping a switch. If you have a compatible Smart Thermostat, you can sign up for Resideo Utility Rewards through your local utility company. By slightly adjusting your AC or furnace usage when there is high energy demand, like on an extra hot day or when everyone is trying to cool their homes at the same time, you can reduce grid demand and allow the saved energy to be prioritized elsewhere. Energy events can occur at any time – and you can opt out of this event at any point. By taking part your energy company will reward you.

A smart thermostat is all you need

Upgrading your thermostat to a smart thermostat is the first step. A smart thermostat learns your preferences, and adjusts temperatures throughout the day to match them. This is a good place to start. From there, you can enroll in Resideo Utility Rewards and start saving even more energy and be rewarded for doing so.

Remember, you are in control and can choose to opt out of any controlled event and maintain your original setting, should you even notice.

FAQ's

What will my utility do once I connect my Honeywell Home account to their savings program?

Many utility programs will offer a signup rebate as a thank you for your participation. Once you sign up, your utility will make minor adjustments to your smart thermostat during peak energy use in your area, usually on the hottest summer days. Your thermostat will pre-cool your home so that you stay comfortable while your thermostat’s setpoint adjusts by a couple of degrees for a short time. Because you’re helping your utility manage the demand on the energy grid, you may get annual rewards, too.

When do savings events usually run?

Peak energy use during the summer tends to happen between 3 p.m. – 8 p.m. so most utilities run their programs between those times. Please check your utility's webpage for specific times in your area. Your thermostat will pre-cool your home before those peak usage times so that your home stays comfortable. Plus, you'll always have the control to change the temperature at any time.

How and when do I collect my rebate?

This varies by utility. Some utilities will mail a check or gift card in the mail in about 6-8 weeks. Some utilities will apply the rebate as a credit on your next month's energy bill.

How do I opt out of an event – or the program overall?

Your thermostat and app will show a message on its screen before a savings event is scheduled so you have a heads up. It will also show a message during the event, and you can click "opt out" at either of these times. If you'd like to un-enroll from the whole program, you can contact your utility to remove your thermostat.

Why should I care if the grid is having an emergency?

In the worst case, a grid emergency can lead to a blackout that leaves you and your family with no power (no lights, no air conditioning, no heat, etc.). Not to mention the economic toll a blackout can have on local businesses. If we all chip in, we can prevent this from happening. These programs can also help keep rates lower. As more energy is needed in an area, utilities would have to build more power plants and grid infrastructure. We all have to pay for that in the form of higher electric bills and the impact to the environment, so a little help goes a long way.

How often do Demand Response events happen?

That depends on the weather, the location and other factors, and will be detailed in the terms and conditions of the agreement with your utility. We limit the number of times you will be asked to help (i.e., the number of times we'll allow your property to get warmer or cooler than the comfort settings). Again, even during grid emergencies, these programs keep properties within a few degrees of a customer's comfortable setting.
