Efficiency Programs & Rebates: Rebates

Seven-day programmable thermostat rebate


Upgrade to a seven-day programmable thermostat and Puget Sound Energy will give you up to $50 rebate to jump-start your savings. A programmable thermostat typically cuts your energy usage and costs by 10 – 40 percent through reduction of heating and cooling when buildings are not in use. You'll save even more by reducing the wear and tear on your HVAC system.

Eligibility

This rebate is available to non-residential customers supplied with energy (electricity or natural gas) by PSE for space heating or cooling when a non-programmable thermostat is replaced with an eligible seven-day programmable thermostat. Please note that 5-2 and 5-1-1 programmable thermostats are not eligible.

Equipment guidelines

  • At a minimum, thermostat(s) must allow user:
    1. Seven-day programming. 5-2 and 5-1-1 programmable thermostats are not eligible.
    2. Temporary manual override.
