PHILADELPHIA (March 8, 2022) – Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) is offering income-eligible customers free smart thermostats for a limited time as a convenient way to lower their home energy costs, maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, and take more control of their energy usage. Customers may request a complimentary thermostat – which PGW will install at no charge – by visiting PGW’s EnergySense Low-Income Smart Thermostats website or by calling 833-596-3075.
The ENERGY STAR®-certified Wi-Fi enabled thermostats are equipped with technologically advanced features that:
- Monitor and control home temperatures remotely through a smart device.
- Learn customers’ usage patterns to heat and cool homes.
- Reduce heating and cooling system usage when customers leave or return home.
- Track energy usage changes over time and gauge the potential impact on energy bills.
- Alert customers to heating or cooling issues.
The thermostats are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and are available to homeowners and renters (with landlord approval). Customers unable to receive a thermostat after supply is exhausted can be placed on a waitlist for September 2022 by calling 833-596-3075.
“PGW’s EnergySense Low Income Smart Thermostat program could have a real impact on lowering a customer’s monthly bill,” said Steven J. Jerue, director of customer programs at PGW. “Once a smart thermostat is installed and programmed, the customer will have a worry-free way to conserve energy all year round and save money. We encourage our customers to take advantage of this free opportunity.”
In addition to the free Low Income Smart Thermostats program, PGW’s EnergySense Marketplace offers a wide selection of smart and programmable thermostats for purchase with an instant $70 rebate.
PGW’s EnergySense also offers rebates of up to $1,300 for customers who install high-efficiency heating and hot water heating equipment that maintain home comfort while using less natural gas. The new, affordable EnergySense incentives offer income-qualifying customers rebates up to $1,800.
