Smart Thermostat Rebate

Enhance the energy efficiency of your home with a smart thermostat and receive a $125 rebate from Charlottesville Gas to cover the cost of its purchase or installation. A smart thermostat is a device that uses Wi-Fi to allow you to control your home's indoor temperature remotely from your smartphone or tablet. Providing convenience, control, and insight, a smart thermostat helps deliver optimal performance of your HVAC system, and maximizes the benefits of your home's weatherization measures.  

Note: Please bring your old thermostat to the Office of Utility Billing for proper disposal (old thermostats may contain mercury)
