What is Connect to Save?

Connect to Save is a new way we can all work together to create big savings on power costs for your home and for the entire cooperative membership. Working together through this program, we will reduce demand for electricity at times when it peaks and is most expensive.

Get Started with a Smart Thermostat

As an electric cooperative member, you have an opportunity to purchase an ecobee or Google Nest smart thermostat for as little as $25 with free installation. These Wi-fi-enabled thermostats provide greater control of your heating and cooling needs, offer alerts and reminders, and can be controlled with your mobile devices for added convenience.

Save on Power

After your new thermostat is installed, the Connect to Save program will make minimal adjustments to your settings during periods of high electricity demand. These small actions multiplied across thousands of homes will create big savings on wholesale power costs. As an at-cost provider of electricity, saving on wholesale power costs benefits all members by keep costs low for the entire electric cooperative. If you want to learn more about these events, please visit our FAQs. 

Sign Up Today!

To get started, select your smart thermostat, then confirm your eligibility by completing the simple form that appears after adding your smart thermostat to the cart. You will then be prompted to schedule your free installation before you complete your checkout. To save even more and to earn a one-time Connect to Save Prepaid MasterCard®, you can add an electric water heater device to your order. Simply go to the smart thermostat product page and select the option that includes the water heater device.
