Smart Thermostats Allow Remote Control

Smart thermostats help you control your home's comfort and save energy and money. Austin Energy offers rebates and incentives to help you save even more.

Smart thermostats let you adjust your thermostat from anywhere using your computer or mobile device. They can help you easily create schedules to automate your heating and cooling, saving you energy and money. Some models offer multiple sensors to provide optimal comfort throughout your home. Smart thermostats also integrate with other home automation devices.

Earn $50 When You Enroll Your Thermostat in the Power Partner℠ Program

Homeowners and renters can earn a $50 bill credit for each eligible thermostat enrolled in the Power Partner program, plus $25 annually for each thermostat that remains enrolled.
