About the Program:
City Utilities’ electric and/or natural gas customers are eligible for a $15 rebate after the purchase of an ENERGY STAR qualified Programmable Thermostat. The purpose of this program is to reduce the cost of these thermostats to make them affordable to as many customers as possible, and to increase customer awareness of energy efficient products. In many cases, the purchase and installation will result in long-term energy savings and increased comfort. Certain restrictions apply; see guidelines on the rebate form.
Programmable thermostats earn the ENERGY STAR by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the government. These units save energy by offering four convenient, pre-programmed temperature settings - settings that try to anticipate when it's convenient for you to scale back on heating or cooling.
If you are like many homeowners and work outside the home during the day and have a different schedule on the weekend, a programmable thermostat can offer many benefits, and the return on your investment is usually within one year.

On the other hand, if you are home throughout the day, seven days a week, then a programmable thermostat can still offer benefits while you are sleeping.
An ENERGY STAR qualified programmable thermostat helps make it easy for you to save by offering four pre-programmed settings to regulate your home's temperature in both summer and winter - when you are asleep or away.
Thre pre-programmed settings that come with ENERGY STAR qualified programmable thermostats are intended to deliver savings without sacrificing comfort. Depending on your family's schedule, you can see significant savings by sticking with those settings or adjust them as appropriate for your family.
