Keep your device set to save

All PeakRewards℠ Air Conditioning Program participants have a professionally installed programmable thermostat or outdoor switch at their home. These devices are what receive the signal to start cycling your air conditioning on and off when energy demand has hit a peak. To ensure your PeakRewards programmable thermostat or outdoor switch is connected and you receive your summer bill credits, please make sure the serial number of your installed device matches BGE’s records.
