Program: SmartAC - Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E)

Resource Number: 79139771
Description

A voluntary energy conservation program that helps prevent power interruptions.

How it works:

Customer agrees to have a SmartAC device installed on or near the air conditioner.
On hot summer days, when demand increases, PG&E may remotely activate the switch. The air conditioner compressor will cycle on and off in short increments, totaling no more than 15 minutes every half hour. The air conditioner fan continues to circulate the cold air that's already in the home.
Participants can expect a one to three-degree increase in the temperature.
Participants may opt out for the day at any time. SmartAC event days are pretty infrequent, last as little as two hours, but never more than six hours.

SmartAC devices are activated only from May 1 through October 31. Offers a $50 incentive check when you enroll.
