Smart Thermostat Program
Start earning rewards with your smart thermostat
Your smart thermostat already helps manage your home’s heating and cooling. Now, it can help you earn rewards with Avista MyEnergy Rewards: Smart Thermostat Program.
The Avista MyEnergy Rewards: Smart Thermostat Program is an optional program that rewards Avista customers for helping reduce electricity demand during high-demand summer days.
When electricity use is expected to be at its highest, participating thermostats may receive temporary temperature adjustments of up to four degrees.
This is an optional program that rewards Avista Washington and Idaho residential electric customers for helping reduce electricity use during summer days when energy is at its highest demand.

Get rewarded for helping the grid
Just like we've learned to recycle and save water, we can all do our part to use energy wisely.
During very hot weather, many customers use electricity at the same time. Programs like this make it easy to use a little less energy during those busy periods without having to think about it. Once you enroll in Avista’s Smart Thermostat Program, your smart thermostat can automatically adjust up to four degrees when demand is highest.
You may not think one thermostat can make a difference. But when thousands of customers participate, those small adjustments add up quickly. Together, they can free up enough electricity to help meet the community's needs.
By working together, we can make the most of the energy resources we already have. That can help reduce the need to buy additional power or invest in new energy resources to meet short periods of high demand, helping keep costs more manageable for everyone over time.
