What are the eligibility requirements?
To be eligible for this offer, you must:
• Be a residential customer of PGE, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas or Avista if you live in Oregon.
• Be a residential customer of NW Natural if you live in Washington.
• Use a qualifying heating system powered by an eligible utility: Gas Forced-Air Furnace, Electric Forced-Air Furnace or Ducted Heat Pump.
• Live in a single-family home, manufactured home or multifamily home such as a condo, townhome, duplex, etc.
What information will I need to confirm my eligibility?
Your name and address are required to confirm you are an eligible utility customer. We also ask for some basic information about your home’s current heating and cooling system.
Which thermostat is best for my home?
All thermostat products operate and perform similarly, but there are some differences.
Google Nest Thermostats
• Google Nest and Google Nest Learning thermostats are more compatible with Google Home products.
• The Google Nest Thermostat is round and comes in a variety of colorful finishes.
• The Google Nest Learning Thermostat comes in silver or brass and black and is round.
• Google Nest offers additional occupancy sensors that can be purchased separately.
ecobee Thermostats
• ecobee products are more compatible with an Amazon Alexa.
• ecobee products are square and available in black.
• The ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium includes an additional standalone occupancy room sensor that allows you to monitor multiple rooms in your home. It also has a built-in air quality monitor.
For more details on features and compatibility with your heating system or other smart home devices, please visit the Google Nest and ecobee manufacturer websites.
Which thermostat will work with my heating system?
If your home is heated with a central heat pump, you should consider purchasing an ecobee instead of a Google Nest or Google Nest Learning Thermostat. Otherwise, all four products will work with all heating systems.
We recommend referencing the manufacturer wiring requirements for any thermostat before placing your order to ensure your existing thermostat wiring can accommodate the Google Nest Thermostat, Google Nest Learning Thermostat or ecobee.
How much can I save with a smart thermostat?
It is estimated that a smart thermostat can help you save between $35 and $45 a year on heating costs; if you have a heat pump, you could save even more.
Can I return or exchange my thermostat?
If you purchase a qualifying thermostat through our site and it arrives damaged, or you receive a different thermostat model than what you ordered, you may return it within 30 days of purchase.
Thermostats may be returned or exchanged if:
· It is damaged upon arrival
· The wrong model was shipped
· The thermostat is incompatible with your HVAC system or existing thermostat wiring
Thermostats may not be returned or exchanged if:
· You no longer want the model you ordered
· The color or shape of the thermostat is not as expected or no longer desired
*Limit one exchange/return per customer. We will assist you in correcting the order once we receive your return.
What should I do if I have trouble installing my smart thermostat?
For installation help, please refer to the instructions included in the package, or watch installation videos from Google Nest, Google Nest Learning and ecobee Premium or Enhanced.
