Control, Convenience & Savings
A smart thermostat allows you to control the temperature of your home anywhere from your smart device, learns your behavior and can adjust the temperature of your home by itself. A rebate is available to customers with an all-electric home who purchase a qualifying smart thermostat listed on the Prequalified Smart Thermostat List.
Smart Thermostat Rebates are available for:
- Single Family Homes $50 - non-stacked residences with their own HVAC and water heating systems (i.e. Detached Homes, Duplexes, and Townhomes)
- Multi-Family Homes $30 - any stacked residences with their own HVAC and water heating systems (i.e. Apartments and Condominiums)

Smart Thermostats Frequently Asked Questions
No, you do not have to use a Santee Cooper Trade Ally to install a smart thermostat. You will need to complete and submit the Smart Thermostat form along with your receipt for the smart thermostat. In order to receive a rebate, the smart thermostat MUST be on the Prequalified Smart Thermostat List.
Smart thermostats are wi-fi enabled and have occupancy sensing. In other words, they can be controlled from your smart phone and will automatically adjust the temperature when no one is home. This makes a smart thermostat more efficient.
If you purchased one of the thermostats listed on the Prequalified Smart Thermostat List during the program year, you can still apply for a rebate. You will need to submit the Smart Thermostat form, rebate application, receipt and photo of the installed smart thermostat to Santee Cooper.
Only thermostats on the Prequalifying Smart Thermostat List qualify for a rebate.
Santee Cooper can only offer rebates for thermostats that have documented energy savings in national databases. We will continue to expand the Prequalifying Smart Thermostat List as more thermostats are introduced to the market and their energy savings potential is determined.
Santee Cooper does rebate smart thermostats for multi-family housing. The rebate is lower for multi-family than single family due to the energy savings being lower.
