Evergy - Residential Programmable Thermostat Program

You can get a smart thermostat through Evergy's program that lets you control your home temperature remotely via smartphone and save up to $145 per year on energy bills. The program offers free or discounted smart thermostats plus a $100 bonus, and participation includes optional Energy Savings Events (typically 15 per year, lasting up to 4 hours each) where your thermostat automatically pre-heats or pre-cools during peak demand times—though you retain full control to adjust temperature anytime. To participate, select your location on Evergy's website and follow the enrollment instructions.

Evergy's Thermostat Program qualifies eligible smart thermostat brands (such as Nest and ecobee) for customer rebates and incentive bundles including a $100 bonus, helping drive customer adoption of connected HVAC controls. The program requires participating contractors and retailers to facilitate thermostat installations, which are designed for either professional or DIY installation, and to support customers through the enrollment process on Evergy's platform.

This residential rebate program distributes free and discounted smart thermostats plus $100 bonuses to encourage grid-interactive demand management through optional Energy Savings Events, which occur approximately 15 times per year (maximum 20) for up to 4 hours per event. Participants must have WiFi-connected smart thermostats and agree to allow automated pre-heating and pre-cooling during predicted peak demand periods, though manual override is always available; the program targets Evergy residential customers in Missouri seeking to reduce energy consumption and support grid reliability while maintaining comfort control.
