Connecting your Wi-Fi Thermostat to Wi-Fi

In order to participate in PeakRewardsSM and get the most benefit out of your ecobee3 lite Wi-Fi thermostat, your thermostat must be registered and connected to your home’s secure Wi-Fi network. Please note that hot spots are not eligible. To learn more about the requirements of PeakRewards, review the program terms and conditions.

Follow the steps below to connect your thermostat to your secure, in-home Wi-Fi network.

Offline Device Notification

Please note that if our records indicate that your smart thermostat has been disconnected from Wi-Fi, we will send you a letter or email. If we detect that your thermostat has been offline for 4 weeks, BGE will remove you from the PeakRewards program. If you are removed from the program, you can keep your Wi-Fi thermostat, but you will not receive summer bill credits (June–September).

EmPOWER Maryland programs are funded by a charge on your energy bill. EmPOWER programs can help you reduce your energy consumption and save you money. Learn more about EmPOWER Maryland.

The EmPOWER Maryland charge funds programs that can help you reduce your energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and save you money. Since the inception of the EmPOWER Maryland program in 2008, the programs have saved $14.5 billion on installed measures at a cost of $4.1 billion. In addition to new program costs, this charge includes paying off the uncollected costs that were accrued over time by programs required by the EmPOWER statute and authorized by the Commission. In accordance with House Bill 864 the uncollected amounts will be fully paid by the end of 2032.
