ecobee3 “Lite” Thermostat

Smart Thermostats

Our Smart Ther­mo­stat Pro­gram offers mem­bers the oppor­tu­ni­ty to pur­chase an ecobee Smart Ther­mo­stat Advanced or ecobee Smart Ther­mo­stat Pre­mi­um at a dis­count­ed rate. Mem­bers can also bring their own eli­gi­ble smart ther­mostats. As a par­tic­i­pant, the mem­ber will allow the coop­er­a­tive to con­trol the ther­mo­stat dur­ing peak peri­ods, sav­ing mon­ey and ener­gy for every­one.
