How Utilities are Paving the Way for Customers Seeking Ways to Save on Energy

EFI has had one goal these last few months - collaborating with strategic partners (such as Google Nest, ecobee, and Emerson) and our utility clients to support their thoughtful and smart savings promotional events. Leveraging EFI's award-winning marketplace technology and supply chain, clients are offering their customers smart Wi-Fi thermostats at a historically low cost of $25 each.

In addition, eligible customers who connect their Wi-Fi thermostats to central air have the opportunity to earn an additional $25 when they enroll in their utility’s demand response program post-purchase. 

In offering this innovative promotion, our clients are presenting a new way for customers to save energy and money from the comfort of their homes, leading the way in customer engagement, trust, and kindness during these difficult times.

Jonathan Coons, Director of Marketing at EFI, states: “All companies collaborating in this promotional event - EFI, participating utility clients, Google, ecobee, and Emerson included - want to ensure that those who are affected by the COVID-19 crisis can turn to their trusted utility in a time of need. Times are uncertain, and offering customers nearly free energy-efficiency products that will save them money now, and in better days to come, is a program that we are proud to be a part of.”

Since the start of the promotional event, EFI has shipped thousands of smart thermostats to utility customers across multiple states, reconfirming to all parties involved that supporting customers in challenging times will always be the smartest campaign.
