What are Energy Savings Events?

Energy Savings Events are times when we make your thermostat schedule a bit more flexible, slightly shifting when your heating equipment or AC runs. We do this on occasional extreme weather days, when demand for energy spikes because lots of people are using energy at once.

During Energy Savings Events, we heat or cool your home before energy demand spikes, then run your heat or AC a little less in the hours when demand is highest. We always make sure your home stays within a few degrees of your regularly programmed temperatures, so you should stay comfortable before, during, and after Energy Savings Events.

Energy Savings Events only happen on occasional extremely hot or cold days, and typically happen around 20 times per year. We never adjust your thermostat on days without Energy Savings Events.
