An advanced thermostat, also referred to as a smart or connected thermostat, can give you more control over the way your home uses energy, while you are at home or away. A smart thermostat connects to your home's Wi-Fi network. After installation, you input the basics of your schedule and desired temperatures. Over time, as you change the settings, it learns your schedule and adjusts to reduce your energy use. Many have apps so you can receive updates, remotely control temperatures and monitor energy use. You can see how much you are spending on heating or cooling costs, tweak the programming to save money and see the results immediately.

To qualify for the $50 advanced thermostat rebate: it must be Energy Star® certified, advanced (having Wi-Fi capability) and programmable. There can be combinations of those without all 3, but the rebate is only for having all 3 qualifications.
