Great on our own.
Revolutionary together.
Yes—energy companies want you to save energy.
It’s good for you and for them—your lower energy bills mean they don’t have to spend as much money avoiding outages. But it’s not easy to take advantage of incentives that keep their—and your—costs down.
That’s why Nest has partnered with progressive energy companies across the US. Together we’re creating rebates, exclusive offers for Nest thermostats and two new ways to save: Rush Hour Rewards and Seasonal Savings.
There are no Nest energy partners in your area,
but we can keep you posted:

Energy companies will help you buy a Nest Thermostat.
They know the Nest thermostat can help you save: it learns the temperatures you like, turns itself down when you’re away and can be controlled from your phone. So they'll help you get a Nest Thermostat:
A Nest Thermostat that comes with your energy plan.
Some energy companies will send you a Nest at no cost when you sign up for certain plans
No hassle, instant online rebates.
For most rebates, you have to mail in paperwork and wait. And wait. So we reinvented the rebate:
Don't see your energy provider? You could still get a traditional rebate.
Rush Hour Rewards
Air conditioning accounts for about half the energy used in a home. So when everyone cranks up the AC on hot summer days, demand for energy spikes and energy companies have to bring on costly new power to avoid outages.
Turns out, it’s better for them to just pay you to use less energy. Rush Hour Rewards helps you earn the most money back, while you stay comfortable and in control. Depending on your energy company, you could earn $20-$60 back per Nest.
It’s like your Nest thermostat is a smart GPS. It helps you avoid traffic and get where you’re going as efficiently as possible.
We’ll navigate, but you can always take the wheel.
Rush Hour Rewards
Just like traffic rush hours, energy rush hours can happen when everyone turns on the AC at once.
With Rush Hour Rewards, you’ll get paid to avoid these energy rush hours.
And you don’t need to worry about when the next rush hour is coming. Rush Hour Rewards automatically tweaks temperatures around each rush hour, earning the biggest rewards while still keeping you comfortable.
With Rush Hour Rewards, you’re always in the driver’s seat. That means you can change the temperature at any time.
Life with Rush Hour Rewards
For years, energy companies have shut off their customer’s special thermostats during rush hours or, when that proved unpopular, simply hoped customers would remember to change the temperature on their own. Rush Hour Rewards is very different:
You’ll get a notification.
You’ll see a message on Nest and in your Nest Account the night before a rush hour.
You'll also get a notification on your phone.
Before the rush hour.
Rush Hour Rewards may pre-cool your home before the rush hour. It’s like leaving early before traffic starts—using a little more energy before a rush hour helps Nest use less energy during one.
During the rush hour.
As the rush hour starts, your Nest will say RUSH HOUR and show you this icon. It may also tweak the temperature a few degrees, always keeping your comfort in mind if you’re home. If you’re away, Rush Hour Rewards will save even more.
You're in control.
You can override any temperature Rush Hour Rewards sets. Just change the temperature during a rush hour and Nest will listen.
Check Energy History.
You can see what temperatures Rush Hour Rewards adjusted in Energy History the next day—they’ll be circled by a gold ring.

Using everything Nest has learned about your home, Rush Hour Rewards finds ways to use less air conditioning during a rush hour without sacrificing comfort. In this example a customer would have used 3.5 hours of AC during the rush hour, but instead Rush Hour Rewards helped them use just two hours—that's 40% less.
Seasonal Savings
Over time, everyone settles into a schedule—we get used to the temperatures we’ve set and miss the energy-saving tweaks that could shave down our bills.
With Seasonal Savings, Nest uses its knowledge of your schedule and preferences to gradually fine-tune the temperatures in your schedule to save energy.
It’s so slow and subtle you may never notice it, but Seasonal Savings has helped Nest owners use 5-10% less heating and air conditioning.
And if you don’t like the temperature Seasonal Savings has set, you can always change it.
It’s like a spring cleaning for your schedule.

Life with Seasonal Savings.
Energy providers constantly suggest ways to save—in your bills, in their emails—but if you follow their suggestions you may only save few dollars a year. So Seasonal Savings is doing something unique: it takes everything your Nest has learned about you and finds ways to save energy that are perfect for your home. And, as always, you’re in control.
Keep in mind, if Seasonal Savings can’t find any opportunities to help you save while keeping you comfortable, it won’t turn on for the season.
First, you get a notification.
Before Seasonal Savings starts, you’ll get a notification on your Nest and in your Nest Account that Seasonal Savings is ready. You can accept it, decline it, or delay it for a more convenient time.
You'll also get a notification on your phone.
As it gets started, you’ll see it's working.
You’ll see a gold gear on Nest’s display whenever Seasonal Savings is adjusting the temperature to save you energy.
It’ll adjust some temperatures.
Most temperatures on your schedule will stay the same, while others may change a few degrees at most. You might never notice the tweaks that Seasonal Savings makes—the biggest adjustments will happen when you’re not home.
It may add new temperatures.
Seasonal Savings may add a new temperature to your schedule—at night, for example—if it thinks it'll save you energy.
You're in control.
You can change the temperature at any time. If you change a temperature that Seasonal Savings adjusted, Nest will learn what's comfortable for you.
See what changed.

Seasonal Savings at work.
Here’s a basic example of a cooling schedule that Seasonal Savings fine-tunes over a few weeks. In week one, it adjusts the temperature when nobody is home by 1°F. Then it adjusts the temperature when everyone wakes up and tweaks the nighttime temp by half a degree. By week three, Seasonal Savings has adjusted temps from 1-3°F and saved 10% more AC without anyone even noticing.
