SD gets worse every year because of uneducated threads like this.

There is ZERO downside to this program...except that taxpayers are subsidizing these rebates, and your feelings can be whatever on that.

The tl;dr of this deal is that no one can "control" anything without your explicit consent...you have to literally fill out a form and say that you are submitting to the program, usually in exchange for some financial incentive, AND YOU CAN OPT-OUT ANYTIME YOU WANT IN REAL-TIME; this is called demand-response.

https://www.energy.gov/oe/demand-response

demand-response (DNR) is an attempt to mitigate the possibility of brownouts as well as reduce the need for high cost/highly polluting "peaker" power plants by matching energy consumption with immediate supply. The utility will only "control" your thermostat during the hottest days, of which there are probably less than 5 in a year (at least in NY). However, this isnt how it sounds:

- They dont just raise the temp to make you suffer when its super hot. Rather, they will cool your house down as much as possible in anticipation of the DNR event (also called a "rush hour" event in local parlance), and then turn your thermostat up (ie: make it work less) when the event actually happens. Your house will (ideally) still be cool enough from the prior cooling to not need much energy at the moment

Example - if a rush hour event is expected for 3pm on a Tuesday, when its projected to be 102 degrees outside, and you signed up for DNR, the utility may cool your house down to the mid to high 60s around noontime, and then then the thermostat up to 80 degrees at 3pm...you still stay cool, and the utility has distributed the load across multiple hours, instead of everyone blasting AC on at 3pm.

- I REPEAT...YOU CAN OVERRIDE A RUSH HOUR EVENT ANYTIME. If you want to use your stuff, go ahead and blast the AC (in this example, at 3pm when its 102 outside). LIfe returns to normal. However, you may lose the financial incentive for that year if you do this. But materally, its no different than if you turned down membershp in the program.

Source - I got $100 a year ($50 x 2 thermostats) from 2017 on for signing up for PSEGLI rush hour rewards. I get maybe 2 rush-hour events per summer (none at all this summer). However, because I set my thermostat at 76 degrees, Im actually above the threshold, and absolutely NOTHING happens to me, so Im getting $100 a year for nothing.

Unfortunately, I had to leave the program in 2019 when I upgraded my AC to units which has its own proprietary thermostat...not compatible with Nest or Ecobee. Im still eligible on the heating side during the winter. My boiler is still run by Nests, so I still get $$ there.

So many smooth brain folks in here not understanding how the program works or even a smart device for that matter. LMAO.

We are witnessing the tinfoil hats out themselves.

Great deal! I have enough thermostat to get it, but I would recommend for anyone who doesn't have a smart thermostat yet to upgrade theirs, I have considerable savings with it. Smilie

Why is my tax is $11.45?

Edit: I see that the tax is based on the price before rebates.

I was wondering the same thing about the taxes.

If it errors out after you "Place Order", it probably is your address/CC not matching up. It didn't like my Discover card for some reason and had to switch to a different card.

If I do not use AC or Heat 99% of the time would it save money?

Once you install the nest and hook it up to internet, the NEST will automatically try to enroll into the energy savings program that the utility company wants you to enroll into. You can disable and get out of it.

Yes, unless you never leave your house. One of the things they have is presence detection. If you are away it will not fully hear or cool your house, you can set those values, and it will help with the savings. You can also control it remotely, so you can start to cool your house before you arrive.

I set a schedule to it, less heating during the day because of the sun, colder after 10pm to sleep better, those little things. Smilie

I'd stay away from smart devices that are free from the government. I read the s***show stories from Colorado. Even if you opt out they will probably claim system issue or fine print to turn it back on

Utility company can remotely adjust your settings.
NY government gets $10 tax for a $0 purchase.
Seems typical NY actually.
