Add your water heater to![ConnecttoSaveLogo.png](/sites/ccemc/files/images/CTSLogoForWeb.png)
Connect to Save for an additional incentive.
According to ENERGY STAR®, water heaters are the second-highest source of energy usage in a typical home. By signing up for Connect to Save, and having a smart thermostat installed, you can also add an intelligent controller to your electric water heater. This will adjust your water heater energy use during peak demand times, when electricity is most expensive. The controller comes with a free smart phone app so you can track and monitor your tank's energy use over time.
What Does an Intelligent Water-Heater Controller Do?
The controller receives instructions from CCEC to adjust your electric water heater during times of peak demand. If the water stored in the tank drops to a preset temperature, the water-heater switch will automatically override the control and turn your water heater back on. This small action, multiplied across hundreds of members' homes, will create savings on wholesale power costs for the entire cooperative membership.
Enroll in Connect to Save to purchase a new smart thermostat for as little as $25 with free installation, and ask about adding your water heater for an additional $50 incentive.
