New construction pilot program
Go above and beyond in your next house
If a new home is in your plans, consider Chelan PUD’s new construction pilot program.

The PUD is offering $2,000 each for up to 10 homes each year through 2021. To qualify, builders need to show, by modeling energy use, that the home will use 20% less energy than a home that meets current energy codes. 

A green home costs more initially but saves in the long run, is healthier to live in and may have higher resale value.

Easy to install, easy to use
Customers have good things to say about smart thermostats. In a recent survey:

  • 100% said the thermostat was easy to install
  • 95% said they were "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with their smart thermostat's value and performance
  • 95% said they were "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with the PUD rebate program offering $100 cash back

"My temperature is much easier to control remotely and when in the house," one customer said.

Another commented: "We will know better after we get through the winter how it has affected our bill. However, we love the accuracy of the temperature and we have been keeping our heat lower than before to try to save energy."

Get a smart thermostat, get a rebate, and save up to $30 a year on your electric bill.
