Earn your annual reward.

Nest thermostats learn what temperatures you like so they can keep you comfortable and help you save energy. With Rush Hour Rewards, you can get rewarded for using less energy when everyone else is using more. And, by enrolling, your Nest thermostat can do it for you automatically, but you will always remain in control.
South River Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) will give you a Nest thermostat discount for signing up for the Connect to Save program, powered by Rush Hour Rewards. And if you stay enrolled, you may receive an additional financial reward. You need to be registered in South River EMC's Connect to Save program and have electric heating and air conditioning to participate. |

Program Details
South River EMC will allow you to purchase up to 2 Google Nest Thermostats for $25 each or up to 2 Nest Learning Thermostats for $105 each for signing up for Rush Hour Rewards. Plus, you’ll receive an additional $50 per thermostat after the year ends (up to $100 annually) if you stay enrolled in the Rush Hour Rewards program and do not opt out of more than 5 events per year.
- There can be multiple rush hour events throughout the year. Rush hour events can consist of a pre-cooling period in the summer or pre-heating period in the winter to make your home more comfortable and a period of time when your energy usage is reduced.
- Energy rush hours can occur at any time of year between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
- There can be multiple rush hour events per day.
- In the unlikely situation of a critical need on the electric grid, South River EMC may need to call a critical rush hour event. Critical rush hour events can occur at any time of day.
Your program details may differ based on your utility. Additional details may be found on the Connect to Save program page.
Here's how it works:
Rush hour events happen when there’s unusually high demand on the grid. During these events, your Nest thermostat will adjust your home’s temperature by up to 4 degrees F, helping you to use less energy on heating or cooling during that time. If you start to feel uncomfortable, you can stop participating at any time by changing the temperature.
