City of Columbiana Smart Thermostat Program

How it works

The City of Columbiana participates in Community Energy Savings: Smart Thermostat Program, a voluntary program intended to reduce electricity costs by lowering demand during peak periods. Homeowners buy and install an eligible, Wi-Fi-connected smart thermostat, then enroll it online. Once successfully enrolled, participants earn a $55 e-gift card.

What the money covers

The page says electric customers of the City of Columbiana Electric Department, which participates in Efficiency Smart, are eligible for up to a $100 rebate on qualifying smart thermostats. The page also says participants receive a $55 e-gift card after enrollment.

Amounts and matching

• Up to $100 rebate on qualifying smart thermostats.
• $55 e-gift card after successful enrollment.
