SMART THERMOSTATS On the hottest and coldest days of the year, members tend to use more energy. By joining the Smart Thermostat Program, you can help reduce energy during periods of high demand. You will also help preserve natural resources, delay the need for more power plants, and keep energy costs lower for everyone. By using smart thermostat technology, we can automatically shift your energy use while still keeping your home comfortable.

Beat The Peak Program Beat the Peak is a voluntary program of Southeastern Indiana REMC designed to encourage members to reduce their energy usage during peak demand periods. You will not see a credit on your bill for conserving energy nor will you be charged more for power if you do not conserve. This is a voluntary program, which benefits all Co-op members. Currently, 66% of the REMCs operating cost is for the wholesale power we purchase from Hoosier Energy. If we all work together to help reduce the demand during peak times, we can reduce the REMC's power costs. Because Southeastern Indiana REMC is a not-for-profit utility, those savings are passed on to you in the form of affordable rates. Peak demand periods occur when the demand for electricity is the highest - weekdays June-August, 4-7 p.m. and December-February, 7-10 a.m. and 6-9 p.m. During these peak periods, the co-op is charged a higher cost from our power supplier, Hoosier Energy. If we can all work together to reduce the demand, we can reduce the REMC's power costs and minimize increases you may receive on your bill. How the Beat the Peak Program works: Members - Text #BeatThePeak to 22300 to opt-in to receive text only alerts or receive notifications via phone, email, and text . SEIREMC - Send BEAT THE PEAK ALERT to notify members of the date and time of the anticipated peak period. Members - Reduce energy consumption during peak period.

Myers Program Agreement Smart Thermostat Program Installation Verification Installation Before you pick up your ecobee: Check if Your Equipment is Compatible Most customers are able to install the ecobee3 lite in 30 minutes or less. Check compatibility with your HVAC system before purchasing. This thermostat is not compatible with electric baseboard heating systems. Installation Support What's a C-Wire? A C-wire (common wire) is a low voltage power wire that many modern thermostats require for their features to work. This ecobee3 lite requires a C-wire or installation of the power extended kit (included) to work. Many older homes don't have a C-wire because mercury and battery-powered thermostats didn't require one. Therefore, it is important that you make sure that you have a C-wire and that your HVAC system is compatible with ecobee's thermostat. To determine if you have a C-wire, please consult ecobee's compatibility checker . You can also hire an HVAC contractor to help you install the C-wire and thermostat.
