ENERGY STAR® Smart Thermostats (CoolSaver)
$250 per thermostat purchased, installed, and programmed by a participating CoolSaver contractor, with requirement that a CoolSaver A/C Tune-Up must also be performed on same HVAC equipment within same calendar year. SWEPCO reserves the right to conduct random inspections to verify installation, which may take
place prior to payment of incentive. Customer understands that SWEPCO assumes no
responsibility for the condition or repair of the customer’s heating system, cooling system, or
other equipment. Thermostats must be installed at the location associated with the SWEPCO
account number listed on the SWEPCO incentive form.
What is it?
Incentives are available for approved Wi-Fi enabled smart thermostats which replace existing thermostats and are installed in facilities with opportunities for significant energy savings resulting from improved HVAC controls. Contact the Implementer to confirm eligibility of thermostat models.
Am I eligible?
To be eligible for incentive, the existing thermostat must have no Wi-Fi capability and no existing aggressive control strategies in place and must control a functional split or packaged air conditioner or heat pump. Sites with existing functional Building Automation System or Energy Management System software, or sites with no functional Wi-Fi available, are not eligible unless approved in writing by the Implementer. The smart thermostat must be Wi-Fi enabled and programmed with both significant temperature setbacks of temperature setpoints during unoccupied times, and an override of customer changes to these setbacks after a pre-determined period.
How to get it
The installer must complete a form, provided by SWEPCO, for each installed thermostat which details the existing and new thermostat setpoints, setbacks and schedules for occupied and unoccupied periods for each day of the week. Incentives paid to a contractor must be provided as a point-of-sale discount on the contractor’s invoice to the customer.
